Hi all,
We have this very disturbing issue on a few of our production servers,
which disconnects VMs
from their network.
* The Vms are part of an oVirt host so each vm is attached to a l2
bridge with a tap device.
* The bridge has an IP on it and is connected via a bond
Issue:
--------
when the machine pings outside to the host (8.8.8.8):
* arp who-has packets are sent to the bridge and forwarded but the
bridge is not forwarding the reply (is-at) (see tcpdump output in [1])
2 more interesting facts:
----------------------------------
* ping directly to the bridge ip succeeds.
* the host is a UCS host.

This isn't an upstream kernel, you would generally probably be better
off talking to folks who produce your kernel, particularly given your
email address. :)

What are the underlying network cards? If they support LRO, I'm guessing
the problem is LRO flag disabling not being propagated down the stack.
You can confirm that by checking for large-receive-offload via ethtool
on your physical interfaces:
ethtool -k eth0 | grep large
ethtool -k eth1 | grep large
This should already be fixed in a forthcoming el6 kernel build.
Dunno how much you can see, but its tracked here:
