Hi!

I have a (core lockup?) with 3.7.6+ and 3.8.2 which appears to be under
ixgbe. The machine appears to still be up but network stays in a severely
hobbled state. Either lagging or not responding to the network at all.

On a new box the hang happens within 8-24 hours of giving it production
network traffic. On an older machine (6 cores instead of 8, etc) it can
run for a week or more before hanging.

The hang from 3.7 might be slightly different than 3.8. They seem to be
mostly the same aside from 3.8 hanging in the GRO path. Don't see anything
obvious in 3.9-rc1 that would fix it, and haven't tried 3.9-rc1.

I've not yet figured out how to reproduce outside of production (as
always, sigh). This doesn't seem to happen with 3.6.6, but we have
different and less frequent kernel panics there.

Dornando, do you use any kind of special setup, external modules, 
or netfilter ? (iptables-save output would help)

Is it a pristine kernel, or a modified one ?
