We use openvswitch and tagged vlans.
When rebooting into kernel 5.4.114-1 we starting having network issues
SSH connections would break, live migrations failing.
Eventually networking stopped entirely.

Rebooted with kernel 5.4.106-1 and everything works fine again.

Intel 10G network card

Not sure what other information would be helpful but seems like an issue with the kernel.

When rebooting into kernel 5.4.114-1 we starting having network issues
SSH connections would break, live migrations failing.
Eventually networking stopped entirely.
What is the rough timespan between working somewhat initially to complete breakage?

Not sure what other information would be helpful but seems like an issue with the kernel.
Is there anything suspicious in the kernel log (dmesg), NIC flapping or other, seemingly network related, errors?
