Subject: Re: [Bug, PATCH and another Bug] Was: Fix refcounting problem with netif_rx_reschedule()

Ran 4/16/64 thread iperf on latest bits with this patch and no issues after
30 mins. I used to
consistently get the bug within 1-2 mins with just 4 threads prior to this
patch.

Tested-by: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@...ibm.com>
(if any value in that)

thanks,
