--- Comment #19 from Andriy Gapon <avg@FreeBSD.org> ---
iflib_stop has a couple of 1 ms delays in it (after stopping the hardware).=
  I
think that those could be enough for the taskqueues to complete any queued =
work
on real hardware.
But on VMs, especially if the hypervisor is very busy (oversubscribed), the
taskqueue threads can get delayed arbitrarily.
I think that that may explain why the problem is rarely seen and why we see=
 it
with vmxnet3 specifically.
