Title:
  interfaces repetitively deleted in apparent  synchrony with up/down
  network interface seesawing

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Description:   Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
  Release:  18.04

  Occasionally an attempt to open a connection fails, or an attempt to
  transfer a file, or do something else that works by opening a socket
  fails.  Other things that you would expect to proceed normally with an
  already opened socket continue to do so. That's the case with TCP, at
  least.  One might draw a conclusion based on the log contents
  described below that it would probably not so be for UDP, but I
  haven't tried to verify that.

  Examining syslog reveals groupings of strange repetitive behavior as
  demonstrated in the 3 successive groups copied from syslog below.

  I'm not certain of exactly when this behavior first appeared. I don't
  know if it's related, but since it appeared, I have seen no more
  instances of a different  anomalous interface network interface
  behavior (namely:  the network being unavailable upon system
  resumption following system suspension, and requiring performance of
  at least once more system suspension in order to restore network
  connectivity)

  The following are the most concise extracts I could make from the logs to 
demonstrate the issue. See the attachment for more:

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1800887] Re: launchpad is claiming my report has one error, but is not flagging what that error is

2018-10-31 Thread Michael Bloom
You may choose to cancel this bug. Or better, you may choose to fix (or
at least warn about) the problem I am about to describe.

The cause of the difficulty resulted from my having originally entered:
"Network Manager and/or ntpd"  under "In what package did you find this
bug?". The page had flagged that, so per recommendation, I clicked "I
don't know instead".

However, because I did not erase the words "Network Manager and/or
ntpd", when I clicked "Submit",  the web page decided that I should have
clicked on the button next to the words that I did not erase, so it re-
clicked it for me and unclicked "I don't know", which re-introduced the
page's  recognition that I had made an error.

Because I had explicitly clicked "I don't know", it hadn't occurred to
me to consider that clicking "Submit" would have caused my most recently
chosen answer to the "package" question to have been reverted to my
previous answer by the page itself, on my behalf.  I had already fixed
the error I had made on that part of the page (or so I thought), so when
another error was flagged,  I looked everywhere else on the page to try
to figure out what the page was complaining about.

I understand that this may have arisen out of an idiosyncrasy in the
implementation, but with that being the case, it would take only a few
additional characters of code to detect what it could consider to be an
"incomplete change" and provide some warning of its inability to handle
the manner in which a human would normally and naturally be expected to
correct the error I had originally made and corrected.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1800888] [NEW] interfaces repetitively deleted in apparent synchrony with up/down network interface seesawing

While not scientific, I suspect the following  view of the (brief enough to 
permit reliable TCP byte streams, as verified by md5sum) timing between "link 
down" and "link up" events (as opposed to the much longer amount of time 
elapsing between "link up"  and the next down event) might help to explain why 
the problem is not more symptomatic than it is:

[Oct30 20:23] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is down
[  +1.544088] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex
[Oct30 20:24] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is down
[  +1.630772] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex
[Oct30 20:32] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is down
[Oct30 20:33] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex
[Oct30 20:38] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is down
[  +1.626526] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex

[  +1.578927] atl1 :02:00.0: enp2s0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex

As before, this is brief, but enough to be illustrative, and  more can
be found in the tarred log info.
