I tried Linus's git tree with the same .config and the stack trace went
away, so whatever that issue was has been fixed.  

We tried a gbit intel card instead of the brocade 1020 (bna) 10gbe card
and the VLAN performance was much better.  

Rasesh,

Are you aware of any VLAN tagging performance issues with the brocade
1020? 

When routing in eth0.102 (192.168.102.110) and out eth0.10
(192.168.100.33) we get a max of ~300mbit.  If we do the same thing with
an Intel (igb) gigabit card we get ~950mbit as expected.

I'll try different firmware and report back.  At the moment its not
clear why tagging performance would be poor.

-Eric
