*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1317811 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317811 We finally have a way to reproduce this at will. It turns out that any kernel newer than 3.7 (which has the change to handle compound pages that I mentioned in comment #7) will suffer from this problem. Th

FWIW, we ran into the same messages and in researching, I came across this page https://silenteh.com/sysadmin/2013/08/08/amazon-ec2-xennet-skb-rides-the-rocket.html which suggests disabling TCP offload functionality using ethtool -K eth0 rx off tx off sg off tso off ufo off gso off gro off lro off

Not to my knowledge. Also depends on the exact issue. Reading through the report there might be two separate issues. 1. Packet loss when this message appears. This is the the expected behaviour when trying to transmit a packet that would require more than 16+1 slots or 64kB. Compared to t

The kernel version 3.8.0-19 sounds like the initially released kernel. There has been an inquiry about some xen related network patches by Matt Wilson on the xen-devel mailing list this morning. I looked for the patches and those have been applied and released with the 3.8.0-28.41 kernel (or hig

I'm seeing this on 3.8.0-19-generic at Amazon EC2 as well. It's very reproducible (happens every time), and it causes a bizarre (theoretically impossible) state for my sockets. I have a client and a server on separate machines, both running Ubuntu 13.04 on EC2, and shortly into a stress test, all t

Oh, and for what it's worth, the same test runs fine on Amazon Linux, which is running kernel 3.4.57-48.42.amzn1.x86_64. There are no "skb rides the rocket" messages when the test is run on Amazon Linux, only when it's run on Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

I am seeing this as well. I'm wondering if you've worked passed the issue. I'm thinking a different kernel more suitable for AWS? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195474 Title: xennet
