Thanks for the dmesg. By looking at it, seems the netvsc driver was loaded properly, and 2 NICs are up, one NIC is down (probably not set to connected in HyperV manager?). Or, this dmesg wasn't the one when bug happens?

Since you found the commit b679ef73edc is related to this problem, could you do a simple test:
  Reduce the receive buffer size back to 2MB, like below, then re-test it, see if the problem goes away?
	drivers/net/hyperv/hyperv_net.h
	#define NETVSC_RECEIVE_BUFFER_SIZE		(1024*1024*2)	/* 2MB */

Thanks,
