Using a slightly modified version of udpspam (see diff below - hopefully not mangled by corporate email servers), where I set the SO_NO_CHECK socket option and can specify a large buffer size, I can reliably get the following WARN trace. I have reproduced this on both ixgbe and i40e drivers using "udpspam-no-check <target-ip> 6000".
It looks to me like this is in the Tx path before we get to the actual NIC drivers, but I may be wrong.
