Microsoft says, "We have not seen this issue in our regular testing. The issue only showed up in a customer’s environment. For this patch, regression tests should be good enough. Regression tests are performed before a new SRU kernel is sign-off on."
Given that no regressions have been reported I am marking this verification done. ** Tags removed: verification-needed-bionic ** Tags added: verification-done-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1924314 Title: netvsc may cause CPU lockup Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux-azure-4.15 package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Bionic: Invalid Status in linux-azure-4.15 source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: [SRU Justification] SF#00308239 [Impact] A soft lockup is happening to Azure cloud customers due to a bug in netvsc_poll.
