Specifically, the driver configures auto-clearing of the "OTHER" interrupt types, and the "OTHER" interrupt handler expects to see an uncleared interrupt source for the "OTHER" types; consequently, the link state change interrupts are not identified by the driver, and thus the virtual E1000e device doesn't function correctly inside VMware VMs. I have verified that Linux kernel 4.16.2 has fixed the issues and our on-perm QE has verified 4.16-RC functions correctly inside VMware VMs. Could you please crossport the fix from linux-4.16 into Ubuntu 18.04 that would be frozen in 2 days?
