As you can see, there wasn't a single "Looping too fast" message in the
last 3 syslogs (2016-07-12 0:00 to 2016-07-14 ~2:00) [zgrep Loop
/var/log/syslog{-20160712.gz,-20160713,} output], although most VMs had
been affected by this issue in the past [zgrep Loop /var/log/syslog*
output].
Unfortunately this is true both for VMs with systemd
215-17+deb8u5~1.gbp51d6e1 and for VMs with systemd 215-17+deb8u4, so in
the last three days, not even the old version of systemd had this issue.
Maybe the bug is exacerbated by CPU starvation, so that in the past it
started on a single VM, and then spread like a domino effect to the
remaining ones because the host CPUs were completely overloaded, and now
there are no longer enough vulnerable VMs to set it off reliably?
There are still "BUG: soft lockup" messages on some VMs, but these
almost all occured at pretty much exactly 0:00 o'clock, which is the
time when logrotate runs on our servers (we like our logs to begin and
end at 0:00 o'clock exactly), so I suppose the host CPU is just
overburdened when all these rotations and daemon restarts happen at the
exact same time.
I haven't gotten any reports from my colleagues of any other issues
since I upgraded most of the machines to systemd
215-17+deb8u5~1.gbp51d6e1, so I'd say so far it's looking pretty good. I
will post new results on Friday.
