      <title>CVE-2026-43296 — octeontx2-af: Workaround SQM/PSE stalls by disabling sticky</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-43296</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;octeontx2-af: Workaround SQM/PSE stalls by disabling sticky&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NIX SQ manager sticky mode is known to cause stalls when multiple SQs
share an SMQ and transmit concurrently. Additionally, PSE may deadlock
on transitions between sticky and non-sticky transmissions. There is
also a credit drop issue observed when certain condition clocks are
gated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;work around these hardware errata by:
- Disabling SQM sticky operation:
  - Clear TM6 (bit 15)
  - Clear TM11 (bit 14)
- Disabling sticky → non-sticky transition path that can deadlock PSE:
  - Clear TM5 (bit 23)
- Preventing credit drops by keeping the control-flow clock enabled:
  - Set TM9 (bit 21)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These changes are applied via NIX_AF_SQM_DBG_CTL_STATUS. With this
configuration the SQM/PSE maintain forward progress under load without
credit loss, at the cost of disabling sticky optimizations.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
