This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:
apport-collect 1756129 and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'. If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'. This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: bionic -- 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/1756129 Title: [Hyper-V] Dynamic Memory HotAdd memory demand increases very fast to maximum and logs show call trace messages Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Issue description: Memory demand increases very fast up to the maximum available memory, call traces show up in /var/log/syslog, the VM becomes unresponsive during the memory consumption, but it becomes responsive right after stress-ng ends its execution, therefore we can say the issue might be in the Dynamic Memory feature. Platform: host independent Distribution name and release: - Bionic (4.15.0-10-generic) - Linux Azure kernel (4.13.0-1012-azure) Repro rate: 100% VM configuration: Kernel: 4.13.0-1012-azure CPU: 8 cores RAM: 2048 MB Enable Dynamic Memory: Yes Minimum RAM: 512 MB Maximum RAM: 8192 MB Memory buffer: 20% Memory weight: 100% Repro steps: 1. Start the VM with the above configuration. 2. Run stress-ng with the following parameters: stress-ng -m 16 -vm-bytes 256M -t 200 --backoff 10000000 3. In less than 60 seconds the entire memory is consumed. Additional info: 1. We also tested this on Xenial with default kernel and the issue does not occur. 2. The call trace message from syslog can be seen below.
