Comment 11 for bug 1728256

Got similar behavior with windows server 2012r2 VMs.

Environment:

uname -a
Linux ubuntu-q87 4.13.0-37-generic #42~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 7 16:03:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

ii linux-image-4.13.0-36-generic 4.13.0-36.40~16.04.1 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 4.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

  Version table:

Windows VMs error out and create a memory dump:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000109 (0xa3a01f5891f186c5, 0xb3b72bdee47188a0, 0x0000032000000000, 0x0000000000000017). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 033018-31234-01.

Based on microsoft docs:

Which is the same as with other reports out there:

From what I see the change was backported but there was no new build yet.
