Bisect worked and once you find it it seems obvious that this is exactly our case:

My setup is the following: Host machine: Ubuntu 18.04, amd64 LXD container: Debian Buster, arm64, systemd 241 QEMU: qemu-aarch64-static, 4.0.0-rc2 (custom build) and 3.1.0 (Debian 1:3.1+dfsg-7) To easily reproduce the issue I have created the following repository: https://github.com/lueschem/edi-qemu The call where systemd gets looping is the following: 2837 getsockopt(3,1,31,274891889456,274887218756,274888927920) = -1 errno=34 (Numerical result out of range) Furthermore I also verified that the issue is not related to LXD. The same behavior can be reproduced using systemd-nspawn. This issue reported against systemd seems to be related: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11557 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1823790/+subscriptions
