** Description changed:
+
+ [Impact]
+
Microsoft would like to request two kdump related fixes in all releases
supported on Azure. The two commits are:
c81992e7f4aa1 ("PCI: hv: Retry PCI bus D0 entry on invalid device state")
83cc3508ffaa6 ("PCI: hv: Fix the PCI HyperV probe failure path to release
resource properly")
These are in the virtual PCI driver for Hyper-V. The customer visible
symptom is that the network is not functional in the kdump kernel, so
the dump file must be stored on the local disk and cannot be written
over the network.
The problem only occurs when Accelerated Networking is enabled. It’s a
relatively obscure scenario, which is why the problem has not surfaced
before now. But we have an important customer who wants the “dump-file-
over-the-network” functionality to work.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ - Apply requested patches and boot into updated kernel
+ - Verify Accelerated Networking is enabled
+ - Set up kdump
+ - configure kdump to use SSH
+ - Test the crash dump mechanism and verify the kernel crash dump appears on
the selected remote server
+
+ Further details for setting up kdump through testing can be found here:
+ https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/kernel-crash-dump
+
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+
+ Build & boot tested. Verified kdump works as intended over SSH after patches
are applied.
+
+ Both 5.4 and 4.15 test kernels were sent to Microsoft. Both kernels
+ signed off on and verified to resolve problem.
