Title:
i40e fails virtual networking
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
With linux-hwe-generic-trusty we see kern.log entries for "TX driver
issue detected, PF reset issued" on a NIC in a bond, followed by the
same interface going down and up again. After this time networking to
virtual machines bridged to that bond fails.
We see either asymmetric traffic, with ARP replies not reaching the
VMs, or no traffic at all to or from VMs.
In this context, these are nova-compute nodes using OpenvSwitch and
KVM.
Reloading the i40e module corrects the networking.
Setting TCP Segmentation Offload off on the NICs seems to prevent the
PF reset, and we don't believe we have seen VM networking problems
since doing so.
