Marked Xenial series as 'Fix Released' since the fix, commit b9a985db98961ae1ba0be169f19df1c567e4ffe0 upstream (pid_ns: Sleep in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in zap_pid_ns_processes), has been included as part of update to 4.4.70 stable release (bug #1694621).
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- 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/1698264 Title: Processes in "D" state due to zap_pid_ns_processes kernel call with Ubuntu + Docker Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Yakkety: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Zesty: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Justification Impact: In some cases some docker processes can be stuck in the D state after a container has terminated. They will remain in this state until reboot. Fix: Cherry pick upstream commit b9a985db98961ae1ba0be169f19df1c567e4ffe0, which has already been included as a stable commit in maintained upstream stable kernels. Test case: See below. Regression potential: Low, this is a simple change and as stated above the patch has already been shipped out in upstream stable kernels. --- (please refer to https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/31007#issuecomment-308877825 for context) Precondition: Ubuntu 16.04.2 with Docker 17.03 (kernel 4.4) Steps to reproduce: - Install latest Docker - Run 300 containers with health check (for i in {1..300}; do docker run -d -it --restart=always --name poc_$i talves/health_poc; done) - Send termination signal to the containers (docker kill -s TERM $(docker ps -q) - A few processes are going to be stuck in "uninterruptible sleep" ("D" state). The only know way to recover from this is host reboot Expected behavior: - All containers should be terminated without any dangling process Actual behavior: - Some processes are left in "D" state. In our production environment this leads over time to performance degradation and maintenance issues due to containers that cannot be stopped / removed. A fix is provided on kernel 4.12 - it would be nice if it could be backported and included in the next Ubuntu release within the supported kernel.
