BUG: soft lockup - CPU#8 stuck for 61s! [kvm:*]   in lucid

Two days back  my KVM base machine got hung up all of a sudden.
Not sure what exactly happened.

cat /proc/version_signature 
Ubuntu 2.6.32-28.55-server 2.6.32.27+drm33.12


-Rahul N.



Thanks for reporting this bug.

To give us some more information on your system, could you please run 'apport-collect 977391' ?

Is there any alternate way I can provide you the information?
I am actually not comfortable in executing this command on the system.

The most important information given the nature of the bug would be the
configuration (in particular what is sitting under the backing store) of
your VM, and the relevant contents of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg*.

Are you able to reprocuce this at will?


Serge,

I attaching the logs along with this mail.

Thanks - unfortunately they seem to be from after the event.

If it happens again, please do post the new logs.

And if you know how to trigger this at will, please let us know.

rahul, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please capture the oops following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Capturing_OOPs ?

Serge,

These are the logs at the time when event occurred.
But unfortunately nothing helpful was there in the logs.
I am not sure about how can I provide you the proper logs even if this
happened again.

Please check the attached screenshot that I took during the issue.
I cant find anything useful in the logs.

Sorry, the screenshot does show that the deadlock is on a spinlock during flush_tlb_others(), perhaps at

        if (nr_cpu_ids > NUM_INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORS)
                raw_spin_lock(&f->tlbstate_lock);


Uh, I meant "sorry, but the reason that happened isn't shown".

Is there anything in /var/log/kern.log.* ?  A fuller oops would be valuable.

If this vm was spawned with libvirt, could you post the xml description?  What OS was the guest running?

Serge,

This is a KVM base machine which faced the issue not a guest machine.
In kern.log there was no Call Trace found during the time of issue.
Also nothing was found in /var/crash/* too.
Are you aware of any possible reason due to which its not logged in any of
the log files?

Yes, but it's possible that using the same guest OS will make reproducing
the bug possible.  Since there isn't enough collected debug info, I'll
need to be able to reproduce it.

Thanks.

Drat.

No.


found that there is patch available for this bug but the patch is for Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS(2.6.24-26). I am looking if the same patch is available for Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. Here is the link describing about the bug and its available patch. please advise. 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/790557



Plz co-ordinate with launchpad via bug we have created.
I need you to focus on this and get root cause by next week as per
postmortem.

Thanks.  The bug you linked was fixed upstream as of 2.6.25.

Can you post some information on your storage backend?

You mean there is patch available for 10.04.2?  OR same below patch is applicable for Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS ? 
which specific information you want on storage backend? sorry I did't get you there.

Rahul, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest server release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://releases.ubuntu.com/raring/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc7

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. 

This sounds like a kernel bug, so it should not be tracked via the QEMU bug tracker.

Setting Incomplete for qemu-kvm as well, pending the reporter's response on whether this is still an issue.
