The issue is a bug in vmxnet3 driver, which is not able to disable LRO mode when the kernel is telling the driver to do so. The patch for it applies on 2.6.32 kernels as well as 2.6.38/39 where it got applied to baseline.
What is with vmware tools? VMware tools provides the latest vmxnet3 driver.
The current version is: VMwareTools-8.3.7-433358.tar.gz
Yes, but ...
I just checked the version I got. It is VMwareTools-8.4.6-385536.tar.gz and contains vmxnet3.c (dated May 26). However, the patch OP referenced (dated May 16, 2011) is not in there. Looks like it is too new.
