There are two different commits of newer date in the current mainline kernel, which seem to fix timeout problems related to i40e.
i40e: Fix for Tx timeouts when interface is brought up if DCB is enabled https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v4.20-rc3&id=fa38e30ac73fbb01d7e5d0fd1b12d412fa3ac3ee I assume, that this should fix the bug mentioned above, as DCB is enabled in the i40e dmesg output. Another recent fix, makes reset after timeouts more seamless (as of today, only in linux-next): i40e: prevent overlapping tx_timeout recover https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?h=next-20181120&id=d5585b7b6846a6d0f9517afe57be3843150719da -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779756 Title: Intel XL710 - i40e driver does not work with kernel 4.15 (Ubuntu 18.04) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux source package in Bionic: Incomplete Bug description: Today Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Enablement Stacks has moved from the Kernel 4.13 to the Kernel 4.15.0-24-generic.
