sorry, i missed to mention an important part. This issue is partly
connected to patch 3.
Please look at qcaspi_set_ringparam() which also call ndo_close() and
ndo_open(). If you only apply patch 3 you could trigger this issue by
running the following script, interrupt via Strg+C and start again:

#!/bin/bash

while [ true ]; do
   ethtool -G eth1 tx 8
   ethtool -g eth1
   ethtool -G eth1 tx 10
done
