Isn't the skb owned by netem at that point...
Thank you, that makes sense to me. But then the loopback device reinjects the skb without cleaning skb->cb.
The attached patch solves the problem for me (netem on lo). Maybe the correct solution would be to make a skb->destructor function for netem, but I am not sure this is the intended use of a destructor function. Thanks. -- Guillaume
