3.2.0-77: networking extremely slow in Virtualbox (virtio-NIC)

[Velnias]

I've experienced a very slow network in the 3.2.0-77 kernel as guest Virtualbox (2.4.28). I'm using the virtio NIC.

The vboxadditions have been recompiled for 3.2.0-77.

Even connections to localhost are unbearable slow.

With 3.2.0-76 network speed was "normal"

Could it be the same bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1390604

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.19 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.

There is no v3.19 for precise. Currently I can't update my VM to vivid.
