Bug Description
Upstream stable releases 4.4.34 and 4.8.10 introduced a regression that is already fixed in mainline but hasn't been applied to stable kernels yet (nor to Ubuntu kernels). Here's the thread where the bug was reported:
http://
Here's a partial transcript of the report:
"This update broke PXE boot on our 4-way AMD boxes. The kernel panics in
eth_type_trans(), presumably during kernel-level IP autoconfiguration,
see [1]. Bisection points me at 5c67f947 (net: __skb_flow_
must cap its return value). And indeed, reverting this commit fixes
the problem for me."
This issue is fixed with mainline commit:

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- yakkety' to 'verification- done-yakkety' . If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification- needed- yakkety' to 'verification- failed- yakkety' .
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!
