This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-azure-
fips/5.15.0-1058.66+fips1 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please
test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is
solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-azure-fips' to
'verification-done-jammy-linux-azure-fips'. If the problem still exists,
change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy-linux-azure-fips' to
'verification-failed-jammy-linux-azure-fips'.


If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.


See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Azure - Kernel crashes when removing gpu from pci

Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux-azure source package in Jammy:
  Fix Released
Status in linux-azure source package in Lunar:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Description]

  On a VM on Azure with a Tesla gpu it was noticed that when removing
  the gpu from the pci the vm would crash. In case the nvidia drivers
  are loaded, the machine won't crash. Instead the removing process will
  hang and the machine will crash on reboot.

  This is related to bug [1].
  The bug reported in [1] regards another driver but the root cause is the same.
  It is still investigated whether this is a bug in pci, or it is a bug of 
various drivers on how they use pci.

  For this case we have identified that removing commit [2] prevents the
  kernel crashes.

  Azure has requested to revert this commit, at least for the time being.
  This commit is not in upstream, so it just need to be reverted from Ubuntu 
kernels.

  [Test Case]

  On an Azure vm with a gpu :

  # echo '1' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0001:00:00.0/remove

  where '0001:00:00.0' the pci address of the gpu.
  The vm will crash.

  [Where things could go wrong]

  The commit to be reverted was included in a patchset to address lp
  bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2023071 and
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2023594

  However this commit just reduces boot time and removing shall not introduce 
any regressions.
  Side effects will be increase in the boot time.

  [Other]

  Only Ubuntu azure kernels are affected :

  - Jammy 5.15
  - Lunar 6.2

  Focal is also affected since it's using 5.15 kernel.
  This commit does not appear in Mantic 6.5 kernel.
