[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1750366] Re: Strange versioning in 18.04 Bionic Beaver
According to the World of Google: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22apport-collect%22+headless This has been an issue since 2010 and as best I can tell, still remains unfixed. Would be pleased to stand corrected on this matter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750366 Title: Strange versioning in 18.04 Bionic Beaver Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: System: Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS Alpha 2 installed within Citrix XenServer 7.0.

Apologies for asking. Your Kernel Bot has just requested I use 'apport- collect'. Obliging, I did this and it suggests a browser session will open for confirmation. However, this is a headless Ubuntu Server installation. Is there a way around this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750366 Title: Strange versioning in 18.04 Bionic Beaver Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: System: Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS Alpha 2 installed within Citrix XenServer 7.0.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1730717] Re: Some VMs fail to reboot with "watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [systemd:1]"
Hello Everyone,
Google led me here with a search for a "soft lockup CPU#" error I am
experiencing.
I run Ubuntu Server on Citrix XenServer and have never had this issue
with Ubuntu Server 12.04, 14.04 or 16.04. I am here because 18.04 has
this issue upon using 'reboot', although 'poweroff' does as intended.
If I be of any assistance to yourselves in retrieving log files, testing
or what-ever to remedy this bug for the good of everyone then please let
me know. Keen to improve Ubuntu for all.
Thank you and best regards,
Modiford.

Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
The fix to bug 1672819 can cause an lockup because it can spin
indefinitely waiting for a child to exit.
[FIX]
Add a sauce patch to the original fix to insert a reasonable small delay and
an upper bounds to the number of retries that are made before bailing out with
an error. This avoids the lockup and also is less aggressive in the retry loop.
[TEST]
Without the fix the machine hangs. With the fix, the lockup no longer occurs.
[REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
There may be an issue with the interruptible sleep having some unforeseen
impact with userspace racy code that expects the system call to return quickly
when the race condition occurs and instead it gets delayed by a few
milliseconds while the retry loop spins. However, code that relies on timing
on fork/exec inside pthreads where this particular code path could bite is
generally non-POSIX conforming racy code anyhow.

This is impacting us for ubuntu autopkgtests. Eventually the whole region
ends up dying because each worker is hit by this bug in turn and backs off
until the next reset (6 hourly).
17.10 (and bionic) guests are sometimes failing to reboot. When this
happens, you see the following in the console
[[0;32m OK [0m] Reached target Shutdown.

One host that exhibits this behaviour was:
Linux klock 4.4.0-98-generic #121-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 10 14:24:03 UTC
2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
guest running:
Linux version 4.13.0-16-generic (buildd@lcy01-02) (gcc version 7.2.0
(Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu2)) #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 11 18:35:14 UTC 2017
(Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4)
The affected cloud region is running the xenial/Ocata cloud archive,
so the version of qemu-kvm in there may also be relevant.
Here's how I reproduced it in lcy01:
$ for n in {1..30}; do nova boot --flavor m1.small --image
ubuntu/ubuntu-artful-17.10-amd64-server-20171026.1-disk1.img --key-name
testbed-`hostname` --nic net-name=net_ues_proposed_migration laney-test${n};
done
$ sudo reboot
# wait a minute or so for the instances to all reboot
$ for n in {1..30}; do echo "=== ${n} ==="; nova console-log laney-test${n}
| tail; done
On bad instances you'll see the "soft lockup" message - on good it'll
reboot as normal.
We've seen good and bad instances on multiple compute hosts - it
doesn't feel to me like a host problem but rather a race condition
somewhere that's somehow either triggered or triggered much more often
by what lcy01 is running. I always saw this on the first reboot -
never on first boot, and never on n>1th boot. (But if it's a race then
that might not mean much.)
I'll attach a bad and a good console-log for reference.
If you're at Canonical then see internal rt #107135 for some other
details.
