OL8 - Latest UEK kernel (5.15.0-105.125.6.2.1.el8uek) brakes Fibrechannel qla2xxx driver and Networking on OLVM nodes. #19

Description

Hi,

I have for the last few days been troubleshooting issues with multiple OL8 servers - all OLVM nodes.

It looks like the latest UEK 5.15.x kernel breaks the nodes in multiple ways - I have created 2 forum posts regarding this with details

qla2xxx (fc) : https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/olvm-ol8-warning-lastest-5-15-uek-kernel-breaks-fibre-chann-0376

OLVM network issues on bonded interfaces : https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/olvm-ol8-x-help-some-nodes-we-cannot-do-any-network-changes-6280

Both these issues went away by either installing the 4.18.x kernel or an older 5.15 UEK kernel. I have seen the network issues on all OL8 node servers updates updated within the last 2 weeks, and the fc issue only on the latest uek kernel.
