I was running F25 (4.10) on a VM inside KVM/Qemu/libvirt on CentOS 7.3 (updated).
Then I upgraded it (via dnf system-upgrade) to F26 and 4.11 and it was still working well, as I recall.
Then I upgraded it again to 4.13 and now I’m seeing flakiness in the network: the NIC will randomly come up and go down.
Right now I’m seeing:
$ ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens3: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:29:01:5b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
$
my messages file shows:

Before the network configuration used to be rock-solid. I’m running on a Xeon D-1548 SoC with an on-chip X552/557 (ixgbe.ko) and an off-chip i350 (igb.ko) quad-NIC. In this case, I’m using the first port of the i350.
The VM’s XML is unchanged, as it was previously (while things were working reliably):
<interface type='network'>
<mac address='52:54:00:29:01:5b'/>
<source network='hostdev-net0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
I’ve also tried “e1000”, “igb”, and “rtl8139” as the model type, with no appreciable difference since this problem started.
Just did a quick check: reinstalling 4.11.10-300 seems to restore functionality.
It was broken when I tried 4.12.11-300 as well.
