Dear Linux Kernel Maintainers,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to report a potential vulnerability I encountered during
testing of the Linux Kernel version v6.15.

Git Commit: 0ff41df1cb268fc69e703a08a57ee14ae967d0ca (tag: v6.15)

Bug Location: packet_rcv+0x3d1/0x1590 net/packet/af_packet.c:2208

Bug report: https://pastebin.com/vLWYxByZ

Entire kernel config: https://pastebin.com/jQ30sdLk

Root Cause Analysis:

The packet_rcv() function causes a soft lockup due to prolonged
execution of BPF filter evaluation in the packet receive path,
potentially resulting in unbounded CPU consumption under specific
traffic or filter configurations without yielding.

At present, I have not yet obtained a minimal reproducer for this
issue. However, I am actively working on reproducing it, and I will
promptly share any additional findings or a working reproducer as soon
as it becomes available.

Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter. I
truly appreciate the efforts of the Linux kernel community.

Best regards,
Luka
