I built a Trusty test kernel with the four requested commits. These commits also required mainline commit ba7d49b1f0f8e as a prereq.
The test kernel can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1690094/trusty/ Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? Note, with this test kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. ** No longer affects: linux (Ubuntu Precise) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Trusty) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) -- 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/1690094 Title: linux <3.18: netlink notification is missing when an interface is modified Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Trusty: In Progress Bug description: The following upstream patches are missing: ba9989069f4e rtnl/do_setlink(): notify when a netdev is modified 90c325e3bfe1 rtnl/do_setlink(): last arg is now a set of flags 1889b0e7efe8 rtnl/do_setlink(): set modified when IFLA_LINKMODE is updated 5d1180fcacc5 rtnl/do_setlink(): set modified when IFLA_TXQLEN is updated https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ba9989069f4e https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=90c325e3bfe1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1889b0e7efe8 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5d1180fcacc5 There is several ways to reproduce the problem.
