[Bug 1872964] Re: Reliable crash in lowlatency kernel with LXD

2020-06-20 Thread Thomas M Steenholdt
So in my case, my VM was configured with only 256MB of memory. This caused no problem on the normal -virtual kernel but caused all sorts of problems when I installed -lowlatency in the guest. Upgrading to 384MB solved the problem reliably here, so perhaps this is not the same thing afterall. -

I have an LXD Virtual Machine refusing to boot after installing the -lowlatency kernel on it. Sounds like these _might_ be related, so here's my info. I'm on a NUC too, btw. Host: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, LXD 4.2 snap (running -lowlatency) Guest: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS The guest was running without problems

OK, will circle back to this bug in due course. From what you say it might even be specific to that Nuc. Mark -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872964 Title: Reliable crash in

I'm not sure that it's workload-specific, it could also be an issue with a specific driver or any number of things. RCU is widely used in the kernel, so at this point I'm looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack. I am trying to uncover code paths that you might have been exercising that I

Hi Seth I have been deploying charmed-kubernetes on a LXD cluster. I didn't think the kernel crash was workload-specific, but of course it might be. It looked more likely to be ZFS + lowlatency + snaps triggering the issue. For now I have had to move to -generic on the machine which was causing

Please disregard comment #2. These warnings are related to preempt rcu, which is only used in the lowlatency kernel. This seems likely to be caused by an unbalanced rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() happening somewhere before the task schedules. -- You received this bug notification because you

When you see this in -24, is that still the lowlatency kernel or had you switched it out for generic like you mentioned in the description? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872964
