I'm currently testing 4.19 with the recomended commit added, plus these 
to sort out some GRO issues (on a hunch, unsure if related):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=a8305bff685252e80b7c60f4f5e7dd2e63e38218

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=ece23711dd956cd5053c9cb03e9fe0668f9c8894

and I *think* it is behaving better now? it's not conclusive as it could 
take a while to trip in this environment but some of the test servers 
have not shown anything bad in almost 24h.
