Description Joseph Salisbury 2021-05-06 14:01:52 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1957803 +++

Microsoft received a customer report of failures when trying to take a kdump. This issue was resolved by three small Linux kernel fixes.

Microsoft would like to request this following three commits in all supported releases.  We would like to get the fixes into a RHEL/CentOS 7.9 errata kernel since the problem was originally reported on RHEL/CentOS 7.x.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/hv/channel_mgmt.c?id=77db0ec8b7764cb9b09b78066ebfd47b2c0c1909

Patch #1 solves a problem where the “Unable to send packet via vmbus” message is output continuously. But with that problem fixed, the second problem can occur where the kdump kernel panics due to receiving an unexpected VMbus UNLOAD complete message.

Patch #2 prevents the UNLOAD complete message from ever occurring in the kdump kernel. But if the UNLOAD complete message does occur at some unexpected time, Patch #3 prevents it from causing a panic.

Comment 3 Mohammed Gamal 2021-05-19 11:41:48 UTC
All patches are already included in CentOS Stream kernel. Closing as NEXTRELEASE
