Hello,

Back in July there was a discussion on -current about serious problems =
with the "oce" driver for Emulex 10 GbE cards.

Stefano Garzarella supplied a patch that fixed the problems (at least =
for me). Is this patch planned to go to -current and -stable, ideally =
before 10.1?

At least for me, these Emulex cards were virtually unusable until I =
applied Stefano's patch. And from his description of the problem (lack =
of proper locking) the errors are serious indeed.

This is the link to the discussion. I assumed that someone would push =
this so that the fixes would be applied to -stable (and hence the =
upcoming 10.1) as well, but it hasn't happened. Sorry for my belated =
heads up.

The discussion is here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2014-July/050972.html

and Stefano's message explaining what he saw is this:

Thanks!


Borja.
