The host assigns a VF to the guest; 2. The host immediately unassigns the VF from the guest; //Dexuan: due to some race conditions bug in Linux vPCI driver, Linux can crash. 3. The host assigns the VF to the guest again. I'm asking the Hyper-V team to investigate the host behavior, but I'm not sure when they'll get that fixed. Starting late 2022 (around Nov 2022), Linux guests on Azure started to crash more frequently due to a host side update at that time: a new host/hypervisor feature of handling "correctable memory errors" can cause a lot of successive VF remove/add events, so the race conditions bug in Linux vPCI driver can surface much more easily. The Hyper-V team is implementing a batching mechanism so that the guest will get much less VF remove/add events (ETA: June 2023), but meanwhile we should also get the Linux race condition bugs fixed so that Linux guests won't crash even if it receives the successive VF remove/add events. [Test Plan] MSFT tested [Regression potential] Guests may continue to crash.
