Hey Stefan,

Just wanted to update you that I've installed the Mainline 4.0.9 kernel
(4.0.9-040009-generic #201507212131) on all affected machines, finishing
about an hour ago, from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds.
I've still had two crashes in the hour since the downgrade.

I don't know enough about kernel code to provide feedback on the detail
above, but thanks for looking into this!

I doubt that this could be related, but maybe it will help... We also
appear to have one of our C utilities (developed in-house) crashing a
few times a day:

xxx.log:[ 4740.992084] traps: checkport[6624] general protection ip:4c3d07 
sp:7f8441ce8e20 error:0 in checkport[400000+ff000]
xxx.log:[60087.824087] traps: checkport[2203] general protection ip:4c3d07 
sp:7fcc7df61e20 error:0 in checkport[400000+ff000]
xxx.log:[ 5375.784101] traps: checkport[10795] general protection ip:4c3d07 
sp:7f96ebcbde20 error:0 in checkport[400000+ff000]

in addition to numerous segfaults:
xxx.log:[ 1354.456792] checkport[1644]: segfault at a8 ip 000000000049be3a sp 
00007fea90080da0 error 4 in checkport[400000+ff000]
xxx.log:[ 1393.894368] checkport[2754]: segfault at a8 ip 000000000049be3a sp 
00007f082e3c6da0 error 4 in checkport[400000+ff000]
xxx.log:[ 2474.260293] checkport[24996]: segfault at a8 ip 000000000049be3a sp 
00007f569f6dcda0 error 4 in checkport[400000+ff000]
xxx.log:[ 4170.613174] checkport[23278]: segfault at a8 ip 000000000049be3a sp 
00007fcf9b580da0 error 4 in checkport[400000+ff000]

The developers are looking into this on our end, but, we still had the
same version of the tool and the same number of segfaults on our 3.19
kernel on 15.04 and it never triggered a kernel crash. Is it possible
that invalid memory access in this binary could be triggering a kernel
GPF? Or would that memory be protected?

Title:
  Ubuntu 15.10 Crashing Frequently on EC2 Instances w/ Enhanced
  Networking

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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:

  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. This is happening
  frequently and repeatedly since I first upgraded to 15.10 on early
  December.
