I still don't have remote hands on my server (!), but I've been able to
extract a little more info by cross-referencing another server &
checking the kernel git logs:

* There are two ethernet drivers, `hns` for first-gen and `hns3` for third-gen. 
No I don't know what happened to second-gen
* The TaiShan XR320/XA320 server node uses the previous-gen `hns` driver, not 
`hns3`
* There are no changes to `hns3` between v5.0-rc1 and v5.0-rc8 - only changes 
to `hns`
* I don't know which device is in the D05 or D06 development boards, nor the 
TaiShan 2280 2U server - they're not listed on the Ubuntu hardware 
certification page. On the XR320/XA320 it shows up in lspci as a "Signal 
processing controller" for some reason, not an ethernet controller, which might 
be why
* PCI ID is 19e5:1710, but that's not actually covered by the hns_enet_drv 
modaliases, which seem to identify via acpi instead of PCI ID 
(/sys/bus/acpi/devices/HISI00C2\:0*) for alias acpi*:HISI00C2:* hns_enet_drv

Title:
  HiSilicon HNS ethernet broken in 4.15.0-45

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A number of HiSilicon patches were backported in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1810457 from
  5.0rc1.

  Subsequently, I lost networking on my Huawei TaiShan XR320 boards.

  There are 6 commits to drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns between
  5.0rc1 and (current) 5.0rc8 - and I know my networking works fine with
  a 5.0rc8 mainline build.

  Can we do another update run for the next 4.15.0 kernel service
  release, to include HiSilicon changes from 5.0rc8?
