Apologies, thought it might be worth a shot, but clearly not thanks for
clarifying :)
You absolutely correct with the msix masking the issue, we've just this minute
had it stall again even with MSIX disabled :(
I agree we have many machines using igb and em without issue even under lots of
load.
Not wishing to hijack this thread, but any advise on what else to try to
diagnose this stalling issue would be gratefully received.
Regards
Steve

This is an em bug, igb does not share interrupt code with em, furthermore the
adapter
the filer of the bug is using doesn't use MSIX, only one type in the em
driver does,
and I might add lots of heavy users on that adapter have MSIX on without
issues.
I believe turning MSIX off is just masking whatever your real issue is, if
you wish to
run that way that's fine, but please don't advertise that as a 'fix' in some
general way.

Jack

We're seeing tcp stalls under igb under 8.2-RELEASE and 8-STABLE (which
shares
some code with em) and the workaround for use is currently adding the
following
to /boot/loader.conf
hw.igb.enable_msix=0
Might be worth trying that.
