I have reason to believe that the absence of this patch in upstream kernels is a critical oversight.
I used "apt-add-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa" to put the "Natty" kernel on my Lucid test VM $ uname -a Linux dubnium 2.6.38-2-server #29~lucid1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 7 15:09:10 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux The stress test crashed the VM's network driver after copying only 63 GB. The test consists of running "scp -r /nfs_read_only/1 remote:/dir/1" concurrently with "scp -r /nfs_read_only/2 remote:/dir/2" The NFS mount options on the client are: ro,tcp,hard,intr,sloppy,addr=10.1.1.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579276 Title: Lost network in KVM VM / virtio_net page allocation failure -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
