Re: Shutting down a VM with Kernel 4.14 will sometime hang and a reboot is the only way to recover.

[Harald Moeller <h.moeller@hakimo.net>]

Hello, my name is Harry and this is my first post here, hope I'm doing 
this the right way, sorry if not ...

I'm not a subscriber to the full list yet so I understand I shall ask 
you to be personally CCed.

I am following this as I do experience the same (or sort-a same) issue 
with 4.14.2.

My setup is more simple, just an oVirt host shutting down some VMs. 
Doesn't happen all the time but I'd say around 3 from 10.

This is what I see (slightly different from David):

This is still happening after reverting the three suggested commits

1f8b977ab32dc5d148f103326e80d9097f1cefb5 ("sock: enable MSG_ZEROCOPY")

c1d1b437816f0afa99202be3cb650c9d174667bc ("net: convert (struct 
ubuf_info)->refcnt to refcount_t")

581fe0ea61584d88072527ae9fb9dcb9d1f2783e {"net: orphan frags on 
stand-alone ptype in dev_queue_xmit_nit"}

Anything I could be helpful with trying to solve this? Any more info I 
could provide?
