This bug affects me too. I'm working on a Tyan Power8 machine (PPC64el) with Ubuntu 16.04.1 and 10GB network cards using the bnx2x driver. A configured network bridge on my machine results in a kernel oops if I trigger a shutdown or reboot, see attachment. I installed the 4.8.0-040800-generic kernel and now the shutdown or reboot works fine, so I would recommend using the LTS Enablement Stack (linux-generic-lts-yakkety) when it's available.

This error does not appear in Ubuntu 14.04 however. The error is reproducible whenever issuing the commands "shutdown", "service networking stop" or "brctl delbr br0". Manually creating the bridge and subsequently bringing it down results in the same error. /var/log/kern.log: [...] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 617.996677] device ens1f0 left promiscuous mode Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 617.996699] br0: port 1(ens1f0) entered disabled state Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 617.996730] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000d2 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.008306] IP: [<ffffffffc0486d78>] __vlan_flush+0x18/0x60 [bridge] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.020549] PGD 10374c0067 PUD 1033927067 PMD 0 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.032773] Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.044434] Modules linked in: nls_iso8859_1 ipmi_ssif intel_rapl x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp coretemp kvm_intel kvm irqbypass sb_edac edac_core joydev bridge stp llc input_leds hpilo lpc_ich ioatdma ipmi_si ipmi_msghandler shpchp mac_hid acpi_power_meter ib_iser rdma_cm iw_cm ib_cm ib_sa ib_mad ib_core ib_addr iscsi_tcp libiscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi autofs4 btrfs raid10 raid456 async_raid6_recov async_memcpy async_pq async_xor async_tx xor raid6_pq raid0 multipath linear raid1 hid_generic crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul aesni_intel aes_x86_64 lrw gf128mul glue_helper ablk_helper cryptd igb usbhid hid bnx2x dca ahci i2c_algo_bit vxlan libahci ip6_udp_tunnel udp_tunnel ptp pps_core mdio libcrc32c wmi fjes Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058563] CPU: 3 PID: 4049 Comm: brctl Not tainted 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058564] Hardware name: HP ProLiant DL120 Gen9/ProLiant DL120 Gen9, BIOS P86 05/05/2016 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058574] task: ffff881030676040 ti: ffff8810341e4000 task.ti: ffff8810341e4000 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058576] RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffc0486d78>] [<ffffffffc0486d78>] __vlan_flush+0x18/0x60 [bridge] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058754] RSP: 0018:ffff8810341e7d68 EFLAGS: 00010206 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058769] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058774] RDX: ffff881038470848 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058775] RBP: ffff8810341e7d78 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffffff8170d949 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058776] R10: ffffea0000d61340 R11: ffff8810329d2c00 R12: 00000000000000c0 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058777] R13: ffff881030044000 R14: ffff881038470840 R15: 0000000000000000 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058782] FS: 00007f9aebc94700(0000) GS:ffff88107fcc0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058789] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058790] CR2: 00000000000000d2 CR3: 000000102fe83000 CR4: 00000000001406e0 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058802] Stack: Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058806] 0000000000000000 ffff8810356a4c00 ffff8810341e7d98 ffffffffc0489258 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058822] ffff8810356a4c00 ffff881038470840 ffff8810341e7dc0 ffffffffc0479bd8 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058825] ffff881038470838 ffff881038470848 ffff881038470000 ffff8810341e7df8 Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058827] Call Trace: Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058863] [<ffffffffc0489258>] nbp_vlan_flush+0x28/0x65 [bridge] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058870] [<ffffffffc0479bd8>] del_nbp+0x98/0x130 [bridge] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058889] [<ffffffffc0479cb2>] br_dev_delete+0x42/0xb0 [bridge] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058895] [<ffffffffc0479dea>] br_del_bridge+0x4a/0x70 [bridge] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058911] [<ffffffffc047b4e3>] br_ioctl_deviceless_stub+0x153/0x230 [bridge] Aug 23 15:09:46 base1 kernel: [ 618.058984] [<ffffffff81345533>] ?
