I found one little issue in the backports (Julian). They contain a cherry-pick line, but I expected a backport line.
If it's okay for you I just change from: (cherry picked from commit 21b1702af12eb62bb40d994c9c1546ecacfc8456) to (backported from commit 21b1702af12eb62bb40d994c9c1546ecacfc8456) (same for the 2nd backport). -- 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/1880834 Title: qeth: utilize virtual MAC for Layer2 OSD devices Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: ---Problem Description--- qeth on a DPM-managed IBM Z machine does not obtain its MAC Address for L2 OSD interfaces from the OSA Network Adapter. Instead it uses a random MAC Address. This causes connectivity issues in setups where a reliable & pre-determined MAC Address is required - ie. when doing network configuration via DHCP. ---uname output--- Ubuntu 18.04 / vmlinuz-4.15.0-101-generic Machine Type = IBM z14 GA2 ---Debugger--- A debugger is not configured ---Steps to Reproduce--- - Bring up a qeth L2 OSD interface in DPM-managed LPAR. - Inspect the interface's MAC Address. It should be the same as displayed in the DPM Panels. Stack trace output: no Oops output: no System Dump Info: The system is not configured to capture a system dump. -Attach sysctl -a output output to the bug.
