Bug Description

Hello,

We test the -proposed packages before our ±25000 user servers get a chance to download it when it's in stable and we have an issue since the package linux-image-4.4.0-113-generic and linux-image-4.4.0-115-generic.

We tried on KVM virtual machines

To reproduce the problem, execute:

    # fping -t50 -r2 127.0.0.1
    127.0.0.1: error while sending ping: Bad address
    127.0.0.1: error while sending ping: Bad address
    127.0.0.1: error while sending ping: Bad address
    127.0.0.1 is unreachable

We have no problem with ping:

    # ping -c 1 127.0.0.1
    PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.046 ms

    --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
    1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
    rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.046/0.046/0.046/0.000 ms

fping is working fine under kernel 4.4.0-112:

    # fping -t50 -r2 127.0.0.1
    127.0.0.1 is alive

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.4 stable 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.

Hello,

I just made the test with the latest v4.4 stable kernel and it's working.

Then I tried an upgrade since I saw the linux-image-4.4.0-116-generic from -proposed and fping is working with this kernel.

Regards.
