Jan 17 23:40:14 xen01 kernel: ixgbe 0000:04:00.1 eth6: Detected Tx Unit Hang
Someone in this thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/e1000/bugs/530/#2855 reported that *"With these kernels I was only able to work around the issue by disabling tx-checksumming offload with ethtool."*
However, that was reported for Kernels 4.2.6 / 4.2.8 / 4.4.8 and 4.4.10. I just thought it could be something you could rule out and hence mentioned it:
ethtool --offload eth6 rx off tx off
Another thing to rule out in case its a regression with Intel NICs and TSO:
# tso => tcp-segmentation-offload # gso => generic-segmentation-offload # gro => generic-receive-offload # sg => scatter-gather # ufo => udp-fragmentation-offload (Cannot change) # lro => large-receive-offload (Cannot change)
ethtool -K eth6 tso off gso off gro off sg off
