I believe my test case is flawed, so I cannot verify with certainty if the issue is fixed or not. This is the same test case as I used before, for which I posted code in a gist: https://gist.github.com/stephank/764e3414d57bc3bcb6b3 Here's what I tried: - I started two new c3.large machines from

Thanks for the continued help fixing this! I couldn't reproduce it using redis-benchmark on EC2, but that's okay. Scatter/gather IO is solely a performance flag in the driver? As in, it won't affect applications? The only effect I noticed after disabling it is that it's apparently required for

I can't comment on the driver implementation details, but I can give some further details about our experience. The app in question was a second screen app for the dutch public broadcasting network for the Eurovision Song Contest. The app was live for two semi-finals on tuesday the 6th and

For what it's worth, the MTU appears to differ per instance type. At least c3.large has an MTU of 9000 by default, while m1.small has a normal MTU of 1500. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.

Public bug reported: Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on EC2, we see a lot of the following in the kernel log: xen_netfront: xennet: skb rides the rocket: 19 slots Each of these messages corresponds to a dropped TX packet, and eventually causes our application's connections to break and timeout.

The machine is no longer running, but I can run apport-collect from a similar machine. The only difference being that we've since added a line to our startup script to reduce the MTU to 1500. ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on EC2, we see a lot
