I'd like to factor out if we are missing IRQs on the host and inside the VM, so can both be booted with kernel parameter: irqpoll
unfortunately this can eat more cpu cycles, so I'm reluctant to ask for this to be used, but I'm wondering of the host or VM are occasionally missing timer wakeups -- 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/1531768 Title: [arm64] lockups when idle if tickless (nohz=on) is used Status in Auto Package Testing: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I created an 8 CPU arm64 instance on Canonical's Scalingstack (which I want to use for armhf autopkgtesting in LXD).
