Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
[Impact]
A soft lockup is happening to Azure cloud customers due to a bug in
netvsc_poll.
Ubuntu 4.15.0-1103 has CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER=y in kernel config
file, there is a bug in netvsc that may cause CPU lockup with
POLL_CONTROLLER. This bug has been fixed by the following patch:
commit 2a7f8c3b1d3feedee3aa319ac220cbde3725b5d5 ("hv_netvsc: remove
ndo_poll_controller")
This commit is in mainline as of 4.20-rc1.
Microsoft would like to request this patch in 4.15 based Azure
kernels.
[Test Plan]
Run high stress network traffic on an Azure instance.
[Where problems could occur]
There could be a decrease in performance or dropped packets due to NAPI not
being able to keep up.
