Bug Description

SR-IOV does not work since Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS, once the HWE kernel (4.18.0-15 generic x86_64)) has been installed on that version. Please also see ticket: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe/+bug/1818400

This bug report was created for Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS, since the kernel for the previous bug report is no longer being supported and a developer requested us to make a new bug report for the new Ubuntu version...

Environment:
Windows Server 2019
Fresh Hyper-V generation 2 VM (configuration version 9.0)
SR-IOV enabled on the virtual switch (Intel I350-T2 physical network adapter)
SR-IOV enabled on the virtual network card of the VM

Steps to reproduce:
Install Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS
Verify SR-IOV is enabled in the Networking tab of the Hyper-V manager

Check SR-IOV status in the Networking tab of the Hyper-V manager. It will show status degraded (SR-IOV not operational)

Does the problem happen when using the 5.11 provided by linux-azure-edge? This kernel can be installed with `apt-get install linux-azure-edge`.

The 5.11 kernel is scheduled to become the default linux-azure kernel soon.

Hi Marcelo,

Thank you for following up on this.
Unfortunately, even with the 5.11 kernel the problem still exists.
