There is nothing specific to epoll_wait(), that's just the function that these daemons wait in for practially all the time. The SIGABRT is due to systemd killing/restarting the processes as they don't respond withing 1 minute (watchdog). In Fila's case the kernel reports hung tasks (in a page fault, i. e. slow/broken swap?), but in Till's reports there is no other apparent error message.
This is not just limited to QEMU, e. g. duplicate bug 1438805 is a real machine with a hardware watchdog. So we still only merely know the symptoms -- something stalls these QEMU or real laptop processes, but we don't know yet how. Does anyone have some observations/recipes how to reproduce this? I. e. did you start a lot of QEMU instances in parallel or something else what could make these slow? Maybe a running SSD TRIM in the background? ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1433320 Title: systemd-journald, udev, logind get killed by 1 min watchdog timeout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1433320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
