Comment 14 for bug 1854842

Hi Mohammad,

It seems things have returned back to normal for this current SRU cycle, and the two commits you requested:

net/mlx5e: Rx, Fix checksum calculation for new hardware
net/mlx5e: Rx, Fixup skb checksum for packets with tail padding

Have been tagged and built into the 4.15.0-87-generic bionic kernel, which is currently sitting in -proposed awaiting validation.

Can you please install the kernel in -proposed, and run the reproducer and check that no kernel splat is generated when you send large IP packets with padding at the end?

Instructions to install (on a bionic system):
1) Add the -proposed repository, by adding the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed restricted main multiverse universe
2) sudo apt update
3) sudo apt install linux-image-4.15.0-87-generic linux-modules-4.15.0-87-generic \
linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-87-generic linux-headers-4.15.0-87 linux-headers-4.15.0-87-generic
4) sudo reboot
5) uname -rv
4.15.0-87-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 31 19:32:37 UTC 2020

Hopefully the reproducer shows everything has been fixed.

I apologise again for the delay, the kernel team were really adamant about having no regressions in the previous SRU cycle, but things should be back to normal now.

Let me know how the kernel in -proposed goes.

Thanks,
Matthew
