Herbert do you see any holes here?
Well I started from the beginning again, and found this. This may be
the smoking gun that we're after :)
The xmit routine is lockless but checks last_tx_tso outside the locked
section. So if a TSO packet wins a race against a non-TSO packet with
last_tx_tso == 0 then we'll have memory corruption.
Everyone, please try this patch and let us know whether the problem
goes away.
Thanks,
