Description Orion Poplawski 2015-02-18 20:29:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Updating to 3.20 kernels on my virtio kvm guests breaks networking in strange ways.  System can get DHCP address fine and tshark shows some traffic, but almost everything else (DNS, ping, ssh) fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.20.0-0.rc0.git4.1.fc23
3.20.0-0.rc0.git7.3.fc23

How reproducible:
two kvm guests so far
Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2015-02-19 02:14:14 UTC 
Perhaps someone could run dmesg on both 3.20 and 3.19 and diff the two for changes?
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2015-02-19 02:19:36 UTC 
Reproduced: with kernel-3.20 I cannot ping any hosts, unlike with 3.19.

ie kernel-3.19.0-0.rc7.git3.1.fc22 works fine but not
kernel-3.20.0-0.rc0.git*.fc22 apparently.

I really think this should be a no-brainer Alpha blocker
but I can't remember if kvm counts.
Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2015-02-19 02:21:20 UTC 
(Maybe this is also the reason I can't get net working in F22 boot.iso
or in fresh F22 install under kvm.)
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2015-02-19 02:28:07 UTC 
The dmesg diff doesn't seem to contain anything useful.
Maybe journalctl output diff would be better?
Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2015-02-19 03:46:47 UTC 
Eric Paris pointed out on #fedora-devel that kernel-3.20.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc22
seems to fix this.

and git9.1 is working okay for me.
Comment 6 Orion Poplawski 2015-02-19 16:13:41 UTC 
Confirmed fixed for me.
