Tony, When I took a look at the ixgb driver a couple of weeks ago, it looked like there was currently no locking in the driver to allow it to execute without the Giant lock over the kernel. if_em and a number of other popular drivers do have the necessary locking, which means they will be safe to use once we support pulling the Giant lock off for most network operations (very shortly). Do you have plans to update the driver to add support for Giant-free operation?
