Hi We have been seeing similar behavior for bnx drivers but in a completely different use case. We loose one of the bnx2 devices in a network bond after a period of heavy traffic. I include a small extract from an internal email:
Red Hat bugzilla 520888 describes our symptoms very closely - unfortunately it hasn't seen much attention. On first contact our RH TAM has suggested it's related to BZ432451 and that, essentially, a solution will not be forthcoming, and the only option is to disable MSI. Our fix has been to do the following: modprobe bnx2 disable_msi=1 in /etc/modprobe.conf This might be related or might not be at all but I thought the problem similar enough to make mention of it.
