That is good news. That means we can perform a "Reverse" kernel bisect to identify the commit that fixes this. Can you test some kernels to perform the bisect? I can build them and post links to them here. It would take testing of about 10-12 kernels.
To start the bisect, we first need to identify the last BAD kernel and the first GOOD kernel. Currently we know the 4.4 based kernel in Xenial is bad. The 4.8-rc3 kernel is good. Can you next test the upstream 4.7 final kernel? It can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7/ If that one is good, can try the 4.6, then 4.5, etc. Thanks! ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Tags added: performing-bisect ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) 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/1614953 Title: hw csum failure when IPv6 interfaces configured in netdev_rx_csum_fault+0x38/0x40 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in linux source package in Yakkety: In Progress Bug description: Since I started using IPv6 I noticed the following kernel error: Thu Aug 18 15:05:01 2016] <unknown>: hw csum failure [Thu Aug 18 15:05:01 2016] CPU: 5 PID: 11086 Comm: Chrome_IOThread Tainted: P OE 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu [Thu Aug 18 15:05:01 2016] Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
