> How do we proceed? :-) one bug at a time, please. As this NIC's "MDD" behavior doesn't indicate what happened that it disliked, I can't tell if that is related or not to the MDD events, but I suspect not, especially if you have not seen that happen for kernels when you did get MDD events.
since the Ubuntu 4.4.0 isn't an ancestor of the Ubuntu 4.10.0 kernel, to bisect we would need to start at the merge base anyway (mainline 4.4 kernel); and since there are no changes to the i40e driver between mainline 4.10 and Ubuntu 4.10.0, a bisect will be a lot easier if we shift over to the mainline kernel series. Are you able to test various kernel versions during the bisect process? It may take a while, and it's important to make sure at each step to determine for certain if the kernel is 'good' or 'bad' - an incorrect evaluation at any step leads to an incorrect endpoint. If you are able to help with a kernel bisect by testing, can you test each of these kernels: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-wily/ http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10/ I expect the v4.4 to be 'bad' (encounter the MDD event) and 4.10 to be 'good' (no MDD event), based on your evaluation of the Ubuntu kernels based on those versions. If those are good/bad as expected, we can start the bisection between them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1723127 Title: Intel i40e PF reset due to incorrect MDD detection (continues...)
