The verification of the Stable Release Update for qemu has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

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 ...

Those 7 threads exit before disk conversion is complete (sometimes in the beginning, sometimes at the end). ---- On the HiSilicon D06 system - a 96 core NUMA arm64 box - qemu-img frequently hangs (~50% of the time) with this command: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 /tmp/cloudimg /tmp/cloudimg2 Where "cloudimg" is a standard qcow2 Ubuntu cloud image. This qcow2->qcow2 conversion happens to be something uvtool does every time it fetches images.
