[Bug 1695780] Re: On VMware ESXi with PCI passthru enabled for Intel NVMe Ubuntu Xenial VM does not boot

This was confirmed to be a VMware ESXi bug in their MSI-X code path for
PCI passthru devices. VMware has fixed this bug in their latest patch.

Would you be able to point me at all the ubuntu specific patches that
are applied on top of mainline kernel? I can run some bisection on my
side to understand what might cause the issue.

Thank you for your patience. I now have the servers back with me. I just
tried mainline 4.13.1 kernel as suggested by and it boots fine. All nvme
passthrough devices come up fine.

Before continuing the bisect, can you see if this bug happens with the
latest Artful kernel?  It can be downloaded from:

https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-

You need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb

I checked the latest released Ubuntu kernel (4.4.0-83) and it does _not_
have a fix. So I am changing the status of the bug back to "confirmed".
If a fix has indeed been released please let me know where I can pick up
a new in-development kernel.

Hi Joseph,
Is it possible to provide me with multiple kernels with different bisects? 
I can then run through them in quick sequence and provide you an update. This 
was we can minimize turn-around time. Due to this bug we are unable to move to 
newer kernel that have security fixes for high importance vulnerabilities.

Hi Joseph,
I am not sure if this is fixed. Dimitrenko changed the status to "Fix 
Released". I had asked if this was as intended and if there is indeed a kernel 
with the fix but have not gotten a response. I think we should proceed with 
further bisection.

I restart the bisect between Ubuntu-4.4.0-61 and Ubuntu-4.4.0-62. I
marked commit 7392f29e5ee5cb8509f20e5ce6cc1e360c486c91 as bad.  The
bisect reported the following commit to test next:

362a958e1fa81a134a18fba0af39375b9ae5d238

I built a test kernel up to this commit.

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1695780/362a958e1fa81a134a18fba0af39375b9ae5d238

Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not? I
will build the next test kernel based on your test results.

Thanks in advance

I got the original hardware back. After new round of testing on this
hardware (with both Intel and HGST NVMe devices)

Kernel 4.4.0-62-generic commit: 7392f29e5ee5cb8509f20e5ce6cc1e360c486c91
exhibits the issue and kernel fails to boot up. Ignore my earlier result
with the same kernel. This is the commit id we have to focus on.

Here is a complete list of all the kernels requested for testing in this
bug.


4.4.0-59-generic:
* Boot up passed
* NVMe devices listed in both lspci and "nvme list" commands

4.4.70-040470-generic Mainline
* Boot up passed
* NVMe devices listed in both lspci and "nvme list" commands

4.4.41-040441-generic:
* Boot up passed
* NVMe devices listed in both lspci and "nvme list" commands

4.4.0-60-generic:
* Boot up passed
* NVMe devices NOT listed in both lspci and "nvme list" commands

4.4.0-61-generic:
* Boot up passed
* NVMe devices listed in both lspci and "nvme list" commands


4.4.0-62-generic
commit: 7392f29e5ee5cb8509f20e5ce6cc1e360c486c91

* Boot up FAIL. Kernel does not boot. This is the original issue. Looks
like this commit has the bug.

Just to note, my earlier hardware is tied up with some other work. I
moved my testing to another hardware with Intel NVMe instead of the
earlier HGST one. But the issue was seen on both Intel and HGST, the
only two vendors' NVMe we have in-house. Both servers are Cisco UCS
C-240.

I started a kernel bisect between Ubuntu-4.4.0-61 and Ubuntu-4.4.0-62.
The kernel bisect will require testing of about 3-4 test kernels.

I built the first test kernel, up to the following commit:

The test kernel can be downloaded from:

will build the next test kernel based on your test results.

2017-06-07 Thread Govindarajan Soundararajan
Thanks for taking time to look at this bug. Due to this nvme issue I am
not able to go to newer kernels that have important security fixes. Here
are the results.

4.4.0-60 (linux-image-4.4.0-40-generic-4.4.0-40.60): Boots fine but no
nvme devices are listed under 'lspci'. I did check that nvme kernel
module was loaded fine.

4.4.0-61 (linux-image-4.4.0-41-generic_4.4.0-41.61): Boots fine and nvme
devices are shown with lspci and 'nvme list' commands.


Looks like the last known good kernel version is 4.4.0-61.

[Bug 1695780] Re: On VMware ESXi with PCI passthru enabled for Intel NVMe Ubuntu Xenial VM does not boot

2017-06-07 Thread Joseph Salisbury
Thanks for testing.  This bug sounds like it was introduced by an Ubuntu
specific SAUCE patch.  Per your bug description 4.4.0-59 is good and
4.4.0-62 is bad.  Can you test the following two kernels:

4.4.0-60: 
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/10948005
4.4.0-61: 
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/10960867

Note, with these two kernels, you need to install both the linux-image
and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

I can start a kernel bisect once we know the last good kernel version
and the first bad one.

Thanks for the testing.  Can you test upstream 4.4.41?  This will tell
us if it is an Ubuntu specific bug, or upstream as well.

The 4.4.41 kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.41/

Just to confirm, mainline kernel linux-
image-4.4.70-040470-generic_4.4.70-040470.201705251131 works fine. Looks
like the bug is fixed in mainline. Should I still continue with the
bisect task with 4.8+ kernels?

2017-06-05 Thread Joseph Salisbury
We can perform a reverse bisect to identify the commit that fixes this
in mainline.  Can you test the following kernels:

4.8 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8/
4.9 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.9/
4.10 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10/
4.11 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.11/
4.12-rc1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.12-rc1/


 You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the first kernel that does 
not have this bug.

Thanks in advance!

I just tried mainline http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v4.4.70/linux-
image-4.4.70-040470-generic_4.4.70-040470.201705251131_amd64.deb and it
works fine with PCI passthru Intel NVMe and HGST NVMe drives.

With the way our VM is built I do not have apport installed but I'll be
happy to pull out any logs that you may need.

2017-06-05 Thread Joseph Salisbury
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel?
Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the
latest v4.4 stable kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, 
please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as 
"Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.
