I have checked back to 4.2.0-16. It seems that 4.4.0-2 is the last kernel where the daemons remain running even if integration services are being disabled. Starting with 4.4.0-3 the daemons stop if the integration services are disabled, but do not automatically start if the integrations services are being enabled again.
I have also checked the content of linux-cloud-tools-common package for the above mentioned kernels, and it seems there is no difference between the two packages (as shown by the md5sum file). -- 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/1701222 Title: [Hyper-V] LIS daemons fail to start after disable/re-enable VM integration services Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in linux source package in Zesty: Triaged Bug description: Issue description: Hyper-V daemons fail to start after disable/re- enable VM integration services. Platform: host independent Affected daemons - KVP, FCOPY and VSS. Distribution name and release: Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.04 Kernel version: 4.11.0-rc7-next-20170421 (for Ubuntu 16.04), 4.10.0-19-generic (for Ubuntu 17.04) Repro rate: 100% Steps to reproduce: 1. Start VM with Guest Services enabled (FCopy daemon starts automatically) 2. Go to File > Settings > Integration Services, uncheck Guest Services and apply (FCopy daemon will stop at this point) 3. Re-enable Guest Services from VM Settings (Fcopy daemon is not running). This is the issue. systemd monitors for the service and if we have the hook for the Guest Service, it tries to start the daemon again. systemd attempt to start any of the LIS daemons will fail, but manually executing the daemon binary, it will start the daemon. Additional Info: - the steps above can be repro'd with KVP / Data Exchange integration service as well. - Manually starting hv_fcopy_daemon works fine. - other distros (RHEL) does not have this behavior, the LIS daemons are started automatically by systemd once we re-enable the integration service. On the upstream kernel and the upstream hv daemons, these messages are recorded in syslog, once we re-enable the Guest service: HV_FCOPY: pread failed: Bad file descriptor systemd[1]: hv-fcopy-daemon.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE systemd[1]: hv-fcopy-daemon.service: Unit entered failed state. systemd[1]: hv-fcopy-daemon.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
