How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a VF echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:82\:00.0/sriov_numvfs 2. read SW stats: ifstat -x cpu_hit Actual results: System will crash Expected results: No system crash Additional info: The reason for the crash is insufficient check on the helper that determines if a netdev is vf rep. will crash: $ ifstat -x cpu_hit will not crash: $ ifstat -x cpu_hit $VF_REP $ ifstat -x cpu_hit $UPLINK_REP We already have a fix for this issue, and it is accepted upstream. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/935193/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1799049/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
