Package: chrony Version: 1.21z-5 Severity: normal
Hi, Sometimes chronyd starts using 100% CPU time. This happens 1-5 seconds after the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/chrony script marked the sources online. In this state chronyd does not accept any new chronyc commands (chronyc just hangs indefinitely). In fact, using strace shows that chronyd is not performing any system calls, so it is spinning in some internal function. The problem is not 100% reproducible but it seems to happen more frequently with some time sources than with others. For example, having 84.2.40.31 (ntp.t-online.hu) in chrony.conf show this problem rather frequently now but AFAIR last week it mostly worked OK. Stopping/restarting chronyd sometimes fixes the problem, sometimes it starts spinning again. I also observed the bug on servers running etch, but not frequently (they were configured to use pool.ntp.org so it may depend on what servers did they happen to use). There is nothing interesting in syslog; a couple of times I tried running "chronyd -d" but then I could never reproduce the bug - so the bug may also be in the logging code and not related to the time sources...
