Hello dann, or anyone else affected, Accepted qemu into eoan-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/1:4.0+dfsg- 0ubuntu9.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-eoan. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Tags added: block-proposed-eoan ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805256 Title: qemu-img hangs on rcu_call_ready_event logic in Aarch64 when converting images Status in kunpeng920: In Progress Status in kunpeng920 ubuntu-18.04 series: Triaged Status in kunpeng920 ubuntu-18.04-hwe series: Triaged Status in kunpeng920 ubuntu-19.10 series: Triaged Status in kunpeng920 ubuntu-20.04 series: Triaged Status in kunpeng920 upstream-kernel series: Fix Committed Status in QEMU: Fix Released Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in qemu source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in qemu source package in Eoan: Fix Committed Status in qemu source package in Focal: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] * QEMU locking primitives might face a race condition in QEMU Async I/O bottom halves scheduling. This leads to a dead lock making either QEMU or one of its tools to hang indefinitely. [Test Case] * qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 ./disk01.qcow2 ./output.qcow2 Hangs indefinitely approximately 30% of the runs in Aarch64. [Regression Potential] * This is a change to a core part of QEMU: The AIO scheduling. It works like a "kernel" scheduler, whereas kernel schedules OS tasks, the QEMU AIO code is responsible to schedule QEMU coroutines or event listeners callbacks. * There was a long discussion upstream about primitives and Aarch64. After quite sometime Paolo released this patch and it solves the issue. Tested platforms were: amd64 and aarch64 based on his commit log. * Christian suggests that this fix stay little longer in -proposed to make sure it won't cause any regressions. * dannf suggests we also check for performance regressions; e.g. how long it takes to convert a cloud image on high-core systems. [Other Info] * Original Description bellow: Command: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 ./disk01.qcow2 ./output.qcow2 Hangs indefinitely approximately 30% of the runs. ---- Workaround: qemu-img convert -m 1 -f qcow2 -O qcow2 ./disk01.qcow2 ./output.qcow2 Run "qemu-img convert" with "a single coroutine" to avoid this issue. ---- (gdb) thread 1 ...
