Hello, This issue is a know issue. Issue was not seen by passing "disable_msi=1" module option to bnx2 driver and issue is not seen with Dell dkms bnx2 driver from support.dell.com (bnx2 driver version 1.8.7b).
It would help if you can let me know couple of details - 1. What is the network traffic load and pattern on the nodes that show this behaviour ? 2. How much time does it take to see this issue ? 3. Does the other port not showing this failure work when the in use port fails ?
