Package: kernel-package
Version: 4.9.0-6
X-Debbugs-CC: yanhuih@vmware.com, gyang@vmware.com
 
Linux kernel 4.15 has introduced a bug in e1000e msix interrupt drivers, which violates the e1000e specification.
Specifically, the driver configures auto-clearing of the "OTHER" interrupt types, and the "OTHER" interrupt handler expects to see an uncleared interrupt source for the "OTHER" types; consequently, the link state change interrupts are not identified by the driver, and thus the virtual E1000e device doesn't function correctly inside VMware VMs.
We have verified that Linux kernel 4.16-RC7 has fixed the issue.

Could you please crossport the fix from linux-4.16 to Debian 9.4.0?
 
Here are the change history:

This is fixed in experimental, and 4.16 will go into unstable just as
soon as it's accepted by the FTP team.
