Title: Linux Kernel crash in Netfilter both in Natty (2.6.38-8-server) and oneiric(3.0.0-13-server/3.0.0-14-server) kernels Status in Linux: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Natty: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: SRU Justification: Impact: When running KVM with a few VM's with physical eth bridges and TAP interfaces connected between KVM (via libvirt) and the bridge, occasionally kernel panics will occur. Fix: Cherry-pick from a504b86e718a425ea4a34e2f95b5cf0545ddfd8d. This is present in Precise onwards. Testcase: 0) Download attached netperf.tgz testcase. 1) Launch 3 instances (for example Ubuntu Natty/Oneiric). 2) Assign a public IP to each instance. 3) Copy all files from netperf.tgz to /root on the 3 instances. 4) Run the following command on each instance: $ /root/netserver -p 12865 5) Create a file named 'remote_hosts' with the following content and copy it to /root on the 1st of the 3 instances: REMOTE_HOSTS[0]=<public IP of 2nd instance> REMOTE_HOSTS[1]=<public IP of 3rd instance> NUM_REMOTE_HOSTS=2 6) Run the following command on the 1st instance to start the test: $ cd /root $ PATH=$PATH:. ./runemomniaggdemo.sh | tee overall.log 7) The machine will eventually panic. -- On multiple servers on which we have Ubuntu versions installed we periodically hit this kernel panic. in netfilter flowpath The console freezes & the only way is to physically reboot the servers. We run KVM and few VM's on the physical servers. On the physical eth's bridges are created and TAP interfaces are setup into the bridges. These TAP interfaces are connected into KVM through libvirt (we primarily use openstack for the VM management). This problem happened in Natty 2.6.38-8-server version. After looking at the below links, we thought this could be a problem on 2.6.38-8-server kernel that is bundled along with Natty & decided to move to oneiric running 3.0 kernel. http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1106.0/00755.html https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/1/754 http://www.spinics.net/lists/netfilter-devel/msg17239.html https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/3/147 However, this exact problem is repeating in oneiric kernels. We request you to pls look at this issue asap. I will be happy to provide you any additional information that you will need.
