This is hit reliably in clouds that are using openvswitch for network capabilities (which is the default network used by Openstack) on machines that have gso offload capabilities. This has already been reported multiple times to Canonical in numerous openstack clouds. The fix has been integrated and tested in those clouds, and has been show to resolve their issues. Please include this patch for stable release. Thank you, Dave Chiluk The patch follows for convenience.
