I found this bug listed in a doc for a customer environment running Bionic, as something that was affecting them as well and for which we were waiting for a fix. I noticed today that this bug is only marked for focal and groovy.
Is there a reason for this to be only focal and newer, or is it simply that it hadn't been reported for bionic yet? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914447 Title: geneve overlay network on vlan interface broken with offload enabled Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Focal: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: [SRU Justification] Impact: In upstream v5.2 geneve tunnel stateless offload support was added to the mlx5 driver. This had some issue with VLANs where the VLAN ID was set by the driver even when offload support was enabled. Fix: Upstream (v5.11-rc3) commit 378d3783412e38dc3a2b9d524f551c0008ea314a "net/mlx5e: Fix SWP offsets when vlan inserted by driver" was backported (dropping some code because it did not yet exist in 5.8) and verified to address the problem. Testcase: Enable geneve tunnel offload support on a mlx5(e) card over VLAN. Regression potential: The modified code path is sending packets tagged for VLAN(s), so outgoing traffic into VLAN(s) would most likely be impacted. --- original description --- Mellanox Connect-X 5 network card When using geneve overlay networks over a vlan interface, txvlan offload currently has to be disabled as it interferes with the network traffic causing general wonkyness. Mellanox engineering pointed us at: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg711911.html as a likely fix for this issue.
