These fixes are being requested in Bionic and Xenial. The Bionic patches are slightly different, so they will be SRU'd separatly. A backport was needed to update version info in vmxnet3_int.h == Fixes == 7a4c003d6921 ("vmxnet3: avoid xmit reset due to a race in vmxnet3)" 034f40579389 ("vmxnet3: use correct flag to indicate LRO feature") 65ec0bd1c7c1 ("vmxnet3: fix incorrect dereference when rxvlan is disabled") == Regression Potential == Low. Limited to vmxnet3 driver. == Test Case == A test kernel was built with these patches and tested by the original bug reporter. The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
