Thank you Stephen,

I gave these a try and they didn't survive my 'death row' test on
WS2016: I run 3 things in parallel:

1) iperf to some external IP
2) while true; do ethtool -L ethX combined 6; ethtool -L ethX combined 8; done
3) while true; do ip link set dev ethX mtu 1400; ip link set dev ethX mtu 1450; done

I ended up with a hang:

(I'm not 100% sure this is a _new_ issue btw, it can happen that the
race was always there and it's just easier to trigger it now).

I'll try to do more testing next week.

Thanks,
