 We are looking into this problem a bit. The panic is reproducible easily by means of big http trafic. We ran apache benchmark on 3 next servers: ab -c40 -n20000000 'http://thehost/somesmallfile'. After just some minutes panic occurs.
 
 However, after decreasing hw.igb.num_queues to 4 (default value is 8), it occurs only after 2 hours.
 
 Finally, the server with hw.igb.num_queues=1 works good already 7 days.
 
 It seems that some problem happens during parallel tcp processing.
