I built a Xenial test kernel with commit bf70e551. The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1549601/xenial/ Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? I'm also building test kernels for Wily and Trusty. The have slightly different backports and have some prereqs. I'll post a link to them shortly. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1549601 Title: [Hyper-V] x86,pageattr: prevent overflow in slow_virt_to_phys() for X86_PAE Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in linux source package in Wily: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d1cd1210834649ce1ca6bafe5ac25d2f40331343 x86, pageattr: Prevent overflow in slow_virt_to_phys() for X86_PAE pte_pfn() returns a PFN of long (32 bits in 32-PAE), so "long << PAGE_SHIFT" will overflow for PFNs above 4GB. Due to this issue, some Linux 32-PAE distros, running as guests on Hyper-V, with 5GB memory assigned, can't load the netvsc driver successfully and hence the synthetic network device can't work (we can use the kernel parameter mem=3000M to work around the issue). Cast pte_pfn() to phys_addr_t before shifting.
