Title:
[SRU][Artful] using vfio-pci on a combination of cn8xxx and some PCI
devices results in a kernel panic.
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Artful:
In Progress
Bug description:
[Impact]
Using vfio-pci on a combination of cn8xxx and some PCI devices results in a
kernel panic. This is triggered by issuing a bus or a slot reset on the PCI
device.
[Fix]
The following patches checks indicate that the reset is not possible
preventing the kernel panic.
357027786f35 PCI: Avoid bus reset if bridge itself is broken
822155100e58 PCI: Mark Cavium CN8xxx to avoid bus reset
33ba90aa4d44 PCI: Avoid slot reset if bridge itself is broken
These patches are already in Bionic, we need these patches in Artful
so that xenial linux-hwe also has the fix. The platforms of interest
were certified with Xenial and linux-hwe, so we are interested in
fixing this only in Artful.
[Test]
- Artful Host with Artful/bionic guests
- Pass though PCI device (vfio-pci) from Artful to bionic and make sure its
usable.
- The device should pass through and not cause a kernel panic.
A test kernel is available in ppa:manjo/lp1770254
[Regression Potential]
None.
