what load will it add to the machines, and what customer information

Title:
  i40e fails virtual networking

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With linux-hwe-generic-trusty we see kern.log entries for "TX driver
  issue detected, PF reset issued" on a  NIC in a bond, followed by the
  same interface going down and up again. After this time networking to
  virtual machines bridged to that bond fails.

  We see either asymmetric traffic, with ARP replies not reaching the
  VMs, or no traffic at all to or from VMs.

  In this context, these are nova-compute nodes using OpenvSwitch and
  KVM.

  Reloading the i40e module corrects the networking.

  Setting TCP Segmentation Offload off on the NICs seems to prevent the
  PF reset, and we don't believe we have seen VM networking problems
  since doing so.
