Hello Alex,

Yes, I badly desciribed the problem. The LRO was not possible to turn on
immediately _after the boot_ (I was enabling it in /etc/rc.local).
When I reloaded the ixgbe driver, the LRO was possible to turn on
without problem.
I found out that the problem was caused by network manager. When I
disabled NM, the LRO started to work.

I did not modify rx-usecs (at least not intentionally). Its value is
always (with disabled or enabled LRO) equal to 1 (with disabled NM).
$ ethtool -c ixgbe | grep rx-usecs
rx-usecs: 1
rx-usecs-irq: 0
rx-usecs-low: 0
rx-usecs-high: 0
There is no linux bridge or routing enabled on this device. There is
only a VLAN configured. Does it matter?
$ ip l show ixgbe
9: ixgbe: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode
DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1b:21:90:c3:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
$ ip l show ixgbe.40
19: ixgbe.40@ixgbe: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
state UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1b:21:90:c3:86 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I updated the bugzilla [0] and I think we can close this as a NOTABUG.
Thanks!
