Happy New Year Trevor! Your links to LMKL relevant patches are saying 'bad gateway' 'website is offline' Is this to say you contribute to the linux kernel? or to Fedora? Looks like a lot of work but rewarding Frank

Followup to my posts last month re: bursty packet being dropped with "operation not permitted".
LKML guys finally got around to fixing and (soon) committing to stable tree. Their fix for 4.8 was to just revert the two patches that I had bisected down to. However, for 4.9 they say they have done a "real" fix rather than a simple revert. That won't help me with F24 though until F24 rebases to 4.9 (which could be whenever).

Funny, but to work on this bisection and LKML submission I followed my MUUG presentation notes from 2015. (Slides still available! https://muug.ca/meetings/150609-git-bisect.pdf and I'm currently working on another bisect on another box for another bug! Isn't bleeding edge fun!)
In the end, I hope every MUUGer obtains the knowledge to bisect and get fixed any kernel bug they are running into. The whole process for this one took about a month, with maybe another few weeks until the fix is in mainline for F24 and I can simply dnf to update to it. If it was urgent, I could easily whip up my own rpm with the patches in it for use in the meantime.
Extra special thanks to Theo & Wyatt for helping to pin down and confirm this bug! _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.ca https://muug.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
