Public bug reported:

Customer is reporting a problem with QL41xxx and Ubuntu internal DNS
server. The issue appeared when the customer updated to the latest
Ubuntu kernel 20.04.1 LTS version 5.4.0-52-generic. Issue was not
observed with 4.5 ubuntu-linux.

Problem Definition:

Product: PowerEdge R740xd
Serial: C7J90W2
Hostname: xkubmin1r12
OS Version: /etc/os-release shows Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS, but Booted kernel is the 
latest Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS version 5.4.0-52-generic
NIC: 2 dual-port (4) QLogic Corp. FastLinQ QL41000 Series 10/25/40/50GbE 
Controller [1077:8070] (rev 02)
Firmware: 15.15.11
Inbox driver qede v8.37.0.20


Completed Detailed Problem Description:
Anything that uses the internal Kubernetes DNS server fails. If an external DNS 
server is used resolution works for non-Kubernetes IPs.

Customer is experiencing the same issue described in this article.
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/95365

Customer Impact: Production site
The QLogic Nic 41262 is their main nic for all of their 14G environment 
thousands of servers. Unclear how many of those hosts are Kubernetes, but the 
point is they want the QL41000 to work since it is very prevalent in the entire 
environment.

Below patch recently on upstream fixes this -
[Note that issue was introduced by driver's tunnel offload support which was 
added in after 4.5 kernel]

    qede: fix offload for IPIP tunnel packets

    IPIP tunnels packets are unknown to device,
    hence these packets are incorrectly parsed and
    caused the packet corruption, so disable offlods
    for such packets at run time.
