I've faced with the situation when system stopped to process any request. Further analysis showed that the load average was around 20, and was constantly increasing (the normal LA for this system is 0.3-1). dmesg showed following: ================================ kernel BUG at drivers/pci/msi.c:342! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: btusb binfmt_misc uinput ipv6 uvcvideo videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops videobuf2_core snd_hda_codec_hdmi arc4 snd_hda_codec_conexant snd_hda_intel iwldvm snd_hda_codec mac80211 snd_hwdep thinkpad_acpi iwlwifi cfg80211 mperf coretemp kvm_intel kvm e1000e ptp pps_core CPU: 0 PID: 23655 Comm: ifconfig Not tainted 3.10.0 #1 Hardware name: LENOVO 4290PW4/4290PW4, BIOS 8DET66WW (1.36 ) 10/22/2012 task: ffff880362cadb00 ti: ffff8803935b0000 task.ti: ffff8803935b0000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8127308a>] [<ffffffff8127308a>] free_msi_irqs+0x56/0x10a RSP: 0018:ffff8803935b1c80 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: ffff8803a8dcb900 RBX: ffff880393653e00 RCX: 00000000fffffffa RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 000000000000002a RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: ffff8803935b1ca8 R08: ffff88040d400000 R09: 000000000000002c R10: 00000000000000c8 R11: ffff8803935b1c5c R12: ffff880407823000 R13: ffff8804078236a8 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 00007f537f15d700(0000) GS:ffff88041e200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000004026d4 CR3: 00000003a8faf000 CR4: 00000000000407f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff880407823000 ffff88040629c000 00000000fffffff0 ffff880407823098 0000000000000001 ffff8803935b1cc0 ffffffff81273a5f ffff88040629c800 ffff8803935b1cd8 ffffffffa00283dc ffff88040629c800 ffff8803935b1d00 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81273a5f>] pci_disable_msi+0x2c/0x46 [<ffffffffa00283dc>] e1000e_reset_interrupt_capability+0x4c/0x59 [e1000e] [<ffffffffa00286cf>] e1000_request_irq+0x1f1/0x249 [e1000e] [<ffffffffa002c45a>] e1000_open+0xde/0x440 [e1000e] [<ffffffff814b7a76>] __dev_open+0x8b/0xd0 [<ffffffff814b7c9a>] __dev_change_flags+0xa4/0x126 [<ffffffff814b7d8a>] dev_change_flags+0x18/0x4c [<ffffffff81504e85>] devinet_ioctl+0x25b/0x548 [<ffffffff8150632d>] inet_ioctl+0x81/0x9e [<ffffffff814a24b0>] sock_do_ioctl+0x20/0x3d [<ffffffff814a28d6>] sock_ioctl+0x1fd/0x207 [<ffffffff810f058d>] vfs_ioctl+0x18/0x34 [<ffffffff810f0d49>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x32f/0x3e4 [<ffffffff810eb690>] ? final_putname+0x2f/0x32 [<ffffffff810f0e50>] SyS_ioctl+0x52/0x7d [<ffffffff81023c20>] ? do_page_fault+0x9/0xb [<ffffffff8157a652>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 83 7b 0c 00 74 2f 8a 0b 41 bf 01 00 00 00 45 31 f6 d0 e9 83 e1 07 41 d3 e7 8b 7b 0c 44 01 f7 e8 f1 93 e1 ff 48 83 78 58 00 74 02 <0f> 0b 41 ff c6 45 39 fe 7c e4 48 8b 5b 10 48 83 eb 10 eb b8 4c RIP [<ffffffff8127308a>] free_msi_irqs+0x56/0x10a RSP <ffff8803935b1c80> ==================

This is likely an e1000e driver issue that needs to be debugged by Intel. For what it's worth, Intel maintains newer drivers at http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/. If something indicates a PCI core issue here, let me know and I'll try to help.
Reassigning to Drivers/Networking, since I don't see anything that suggests a PCI core issue.
