Can we patch it against 4.11?
If not, can we patch the em_intr() to 4.11?=20
Is this patch useful to 4.11?
Thanks!

Subject: em(4) patch for test

  Colleagues,

  since the if_em problem was taken as a late showstopper for =
6.0-RELEASE,
I am asking you to help with testing of the fixes made in HEAD.

  Does your em(4) interface wedge for some time?
  Do you see a lot of errors in 'netstat -i' output? Does these errors
  increase not monotonously but they have peaks?

If the answer is yes, then the attached patch is likely to fix your =
problem.
If the answer is no, then you are still encouraged to help with testing
and install the patch to check that no regressions are introduced. If =
you
skip this, then you may encounter regressions after release, so you have
been warned.

  So, in short: please test! Thanks in advance!

The patch is against fresh RELENG_6.

--=20
Totus tuus, Glebius.
