When GSO frame has to be corrupted netem uses skb_gso_segment() to produce the list of frames, and re-enqueues the segments one by one. The backlog length has to be adjusted to account for new frames. The current calculation is incorrect, leading to wrong backlog lengths in the parent qdisc (both bytes and packets), and incorrect packet backlog count in netem itself. Parent backlog goes negative, netem's packet backlog counts all non-first segments twice (thus remaining non-zero even after qdisc is emptied). Move the variables used to count the adjustment into local scope to make 100% sure they aren't used at any stage in backports.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
