The bug will cause the card to drop packets when the system is under memory pressure, and in certain causes the card can get into a state when it is no longer able to receive packets.  I am working on a fix; I can post a patch when it's complete.

Thank you very much for your feedback Ryan.

Yes, my system is using mlx4_en driver, the one directly from FreeBSD 11.0 sources tree.
Any indicator I could catch to be sure I'm experiencing the issue you are working on ?

Sounds like anyway I may be suffering from it...
Of course I would be glad to help testing your patch when it's complete.

Thank you again,

Ben
