------- Comment From [email protected] 2016-12-02 18:01 EDT------- Hi Canonical
This issue with the bnx2x driver exists in the all 4.4. kernels including the current stable (4.4.36). If 16.04 will continue to support a 4.4. kernel we need the following patch included in a kernel build. I am working on ppc64le however others have reported the issue on x86-64. (The full patch is attached to this bugzilla) >From a02cc9d3cc9f98905df214d4a57e5918473260ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Schmidt <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2016 15:32:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: allow adding VLANs while interface is down Here are the steps to verify the fix: # brctl addbr boom # brctl stp boom off # brctl addif boom <interface> # brctl delif boom <interface> <Interface> is any network interface using the bnx2x network driver. The Oops happens after brctl delif is run unless patch is included. Note: the problem can be avoided if <interface> is "up" before brctl addif is run. This worked when I ran the commands by hand as above. I attempted to modify the /etc/network/interfaces to change the state of the interface before creating the bridge but was unsuccessful. Maybe someone else will have better luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1616107 Title: Kernel oops + system freeze on network-bridge shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bridge-utils/+bug/1616107/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
