Just chiming in with Jon, I'm using 14.04.1 LTS on EC2 hs1.8xlarge with kernel 3.16.0-29 and I can still reliably produce this error. I thought that this was fixed in 3.14+ but no such luck. Under a particular load the server becomes unresponsive to network requests.
I've tried turning off tso and sg on eth0 but this did not resolve the issue. I'm not sure if there is another feature that is causing this in my configuration but I'd be willing to test for it if someone could point me at documentation. Also if there are any logs I can provide to help diagnose this issue please let me know, I'm really eager to see this bug resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317811 Title: Dropped packets on EC2, "xen_netfront: xennet: skb rides the rocket: x slots" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1317811/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
