There is softlockup when using TPACKET_V3: ... NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 60010ms!

If __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() is failed in prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo(), msec and tmo will be zero, so tov_in_jiffies is zero and the timer expire for retire_blk_timer is turn to mod_timer(&pkc->retire_blk_timer, jiffies + 0), which will trigger cpu usage of softirq is 100%.
