Title: Ubuntu 15.10 Crashing Frequently on EC2 Instances w/ Enhanced Networking Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Lots of details and history of the problem here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/710747/after-upgrading- to-15-10-from-15-04-ec2-webservers-have-become-very-unstable 10 of my webservers have started crashing immediately following the 15.10 upgrade. As far as what exactly defines a "crash", Instance Status Checks fail, and I can no longer SSH to the machine. Background daemons running on the system stop responding, and nothing is written to the logs. After weeks of working with the AWS team, I finally fixed a netconsole issue via "echo 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk" and got netconsole working properly, and finally have a trace: [21410.260077] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [21410.261976] Modules linked in: isofs xt_CHECKSUM iptable_mangle ipt_MASQUERADE nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat nf_conntrack xt_tcpudp bridge stp llc iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables ppdev intel_rapl iosf_mbi xen_fbfront fb_sys_fops input_leds serio_raw i2c_piix4 parport_pc 8250_fintek parport mac_hid netconsole configfs autofs4 crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul cirrus syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt aesni_intel ttm aes_x86_64 drm_kms_helper lrw gf128mul glue_helper ablk_helper cryptd psmouse drm ixgbevf pata_acpi floppy [21410.264054] CPU: 0 PID: 26957 Comm: apache2 Not tainted 4.2.0-23-generic #28-Ubuntu [21410.264054] Hardware name: Xen HVM domU, BIOS 4.2.amazon 12/07/2015 [21410.264054] task: ffff8803f9809b80 ti: ffff8803f999c000 task.ti: ffff8803f999c000 [21410.264054] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810e5c36>] [<ffffffff810e5c36>] run_timer_softirq+0x116/0x2d0 [21410.264054] RSP: 0000:ffff8803ff203e98 EFLAGS: 00010086 [21410.264054] RAX: dead000000200200 RBX: ffff8803ff20e9c0 RCX: ffff8803ff203ec8 [21410.264054] RDX: ffff8803ff203ec8 RSI: 0000000000011fc0 RDI: ffff8803ff20e9c0 [21410.264054] RBP: ffff8803ff203f08 R08: 000000000000a77a R09: 0000000000000000 [21410.264054] R10: 0000000000000020 R11: 0000000000000004 R12: 000000000000007c [21410.264054] R13: ffffffff8172aaf0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff8803af955be0 [21410.264054] FS: 00007fb0ce6e8780(0000) GS:ffff8803ff200000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [21410.264054] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [21410.264054] CR2: 00007fb0ce51e130 CR3: 00000003fb233000 CR4: 00000000001406f0 [21410.264054] Stack: [21410.264054] ffff8803ff203eb8 ffff8803ff20f5f8 ffff8803ff20f3f8 ffff8803ff20f1f8 [21410.264054] ffff8803ff20e9f8 ffff8803af955b58 dead000000200200 00000000f60fabc0 [21410.264054] 0000000000011fc0 0000000000000001 ffffffff81c0b0c8 0000000000000001 [21410.264054] Call Trace: [21410.264054] <IRQ> [21410.264054] [<ffffffff8107f846>] __do_softirq+0xf6/0x250 [21410.264054] [<ffffffff8107fb13>] irq_exit+0xa3/0xb0 [21410.264054] [<ffffffff814a4499>] xen_evtchn_do_upcall+0x39/0x50 [21410.264054] [<ffffffff817f1f6b>] xen_hvm_callback_vector+0x6b/0x70 [21410.264054] <EOI> [21410.264054] Code: 81 e6 00 00 20 00 48 85 d2 48 89 45 b8 0f 85 30 01 00 00 4c 89 7b 08 0f 1f 44 00 00 49 8b 07 49 8b 57 08 48 85 c0 48 89 02 74 04 <48> 89 50 08 41 f6 47 2a 10 48 b8 00 02 20 00 00 00 ad de 49 c7 [21410.264054] RIP [<ffffffff810e5c36>] run_timer_softirq+0x116/0x2d0 [21410.264054] RSP <ffff8803ff203e98> I don't have a vmcore at the moment, but I'm trying to get one from AWS and should have one in the next couple of days.
