This is a known bug in ixgbe where ndo_start_xmit can be called while the driver is resetting. This is pretty easy to see when using netconsole. This is the upstream patch: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/commit/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c?id=cdc04dcce0598fead6029a2f95e95a4d2ea419c2 It is also resolved in the current ixgbe version on SF.
