Your em1 is using MSI not MSIX and thus can't have multiple queues. I'm
not sure whats broken from what you show here. I will try to get the new
driver out shortly for you to try.

With this particular NIC, it will wedge under high load. I tried 2 different motherboards and chipsets the same behaviour.

There is a new revision of the em driver coming next week, its going thru some
stress pounding over the weekend, if no issues show up I'll put it into HEAD.

Yongari's changes in TX context handling which effects checksum and tso
are added. I've also decided that multiple queues in 82574 just are a source
of problems without a lot of benefit, so it still uses MSIX but with only 3 vectors,
meaning it seperates TX and RX but has a single queue.


Thanks, looking forward to trying it out! With respect to the multiple queues, I thought the driver already used just the one on RELENG_8 ? If not, is there a way to force the existing driver to use just the one queue ?

On the box that has the NIC locking up, it shows

e...@pci0:9:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x34ec8086 chip=0x10d38086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00

   vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'

   subclass   = ethernet
   cap 01[c8] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D3  current D0
   cap 05[d0] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit enabled with 1 message
   cap 10[e0] = PCI-Express 1 endpoint max data 128(256) link x1(x1)

and

vmstat -i shows

irq256: em0                      5129063        353
irq257: em1                       531251         36

ifconfig down/up just panics or locks up the box when its in this state. I also have IPMI enabled on this nic, but it shows the same issue with it disabled.
