xfrm: ipsec crash when updating spd thresholds

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1613787

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

I built a Xenial test kernel with the patch from:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/654026/

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1613787/

Can you test this kernel and confirm it resolves this bug?

Also, do any other releases besides Xenial and Yakkety require this patch?

This kernel solves the crash.
This patch is needed for all kernel >= 3.19: vivid and wily are EoL if I'm not wrong, thus only xenial and yakkety.

Thank you for the quick answer.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

The official sha1 (from linus tree) is:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=6916fb3b10b3

$ git describe --contains 6916fb3b10b3
v4.8-rc7~35^2~11^2~2

=> Included in 4.8, thus there is nothing to do for Yakkety.

Joseph: since it is not needed for Yakkety, please can you change the status of this LP ? , so it'll appear to be closed. Thank you.

Yakkety bug task removed per comment #11
