[Hyper-V] Fiber Channel critical target error

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

apport-collect 1439780

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.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.1 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Checked with http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc3-unstable/ The issue is still present.

In dmesg we still see :

Was there a prior kernel version that did not have this issue?

We do not have a test in the 15.04 timeframe that worked, verifying that it worked in previous releases.

So I tried to repro this on the latest upstream v4.1-fc5 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc5-unstable/.

It looks like the issue's been fixed there.

'd like to perform a reverse bisect to figure out which commit upstream fixes this regression. It would be very helpful to know the last kernel that had this issue and the first kernel that did not.

Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for the earliest kernel version that doesn't have this bug:

v4.1-rc4: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc4-unstable/
v4.1-rc3: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc3-unstable/
v4.1-rc2: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc2-unstable/
v4.1-rc1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc1-unstable/

You don't have to test every kernel. We are just looking for the last kernel that had the bug and the first kernel that did not. Once we know these two versions, we can bisect between them.

To answer your question, it looks like the issue can be reproduced as recently as v4.1-rc4.

So the last version of the kernel that we see this bug is: v4.1-rc4

And the first version of the kernel we don't see this bug is: v4.1-rc5

I started a kernel reverse bisect between v4.1-rc4 and v4.1-rc5. The kernel bisect will require testing of about 7-10 test kernels.

I built the first test kernel, up to the following commit:
1d82b0baf9abd59ae6f53f3102f4e442043763a4

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1439780

Can you test that kernel and report back if it has the bug or not? I will build the next test kernel based on your test results.

Thanks in advance

Hi Joseph,

Kernel with commits up to 7ce14f6ff26460819345fe8495cf2dd6538b7cdc are also seeing this issue.

I'm can run my own bisect as well so we can save some time going back and forth. Are you basing your bisect off of Linux-stable repository?

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for the update, Alex.

I am performing a "Reverse" bisect between v4.1-rc4 and v4.1-rc5 using the master branch in the mainline repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

I'll continue the bisect unless you prefer to do it. Here is the current bisect log:

Hi,

The issue also shows up in this kernel.

I can take over the bisect. My current bisect log is the same as yours.

I'm currently building the next test kernel up to following commit:
74856fbf441929918c49ff262ace9835048e4e6a

Will let you know when I narrow it down further.

Thanks, Alex. I look forward to your results.

Hi,

I'm finished with the bisect and the following commit will fix this issue:

dc45708ca9988656d706940df5fd102672c5de92 [storvsc: Set the SRB flags correctly when no data transfer is needed]

Looks like we'll want to include this patch.

I built a Vivid test kernel with a cherry pick of commit dc45708c. Can you test this kernel and confirm it solves the bug? If it does, we can SRU it to Vivid and Wily and request it be included in the upstream stable kernels.

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1439780/

Note, for this test kernel you need to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

This test kernel fixes the issue.

Thanks for testing, Alex. I sent and SRU request to have this commit included in Vivid and Wily. The commit was already cc'd to stable as well.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 3.19.0-22.22

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-vivid' to 'verification-done-vivid'.

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!

Hi Luis,
We've tested now the proposed kernel 3.19.0-22 on Vivid and the virtual fibre channel is working and it's usable.

There is one error message that we see when checking the multipath support, will send an update once that gets clarified on our end.

We are still seeing some errors.

Here are the results for 15.04 running the upstream 4.1.0-rc8-next built 2015-06-22.
I’m still seeing some error messages, though multipath is at least able to recognize the vFC disks.

These 2 items might be specific to the FC or can be ignored, still mentioning them for confirmation:

Should we open a new bug or continue with this one?

Joshua, it is probably best to open a new bug.

The fix for this bug is now in Trusty as commit:
