[Bug 458521] Re: kvm crash when using virtio for network, hardy guest

[Dustin Kirkland]

I just added a new task, triaged/high against hardy's linux kernel.

The Hardy linux kernel uses a backport of 2.6.25's virtio-net
implementation that causes this bug.

This virtio-net driver needs to be fixed such that hardy vm guests using
virtio-net doesn't truncate packets and crash hypervisors.

This appears to be fixed in virtio-net implementations later than
2.6.25, so I think we either need to sync this driver with a new
release, or cherry-pick the fixes that solve this.

Assigning to jj.  Hopefully he can knock this out easily.
