I was looking into kernel commits and I came across this: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/fadd94e05c02afec7b70b0b14915624f1782f578
So, as far as I understood, it actually deals with the issue of manual device detach during a writeback clean-up and causing deadlock. The timeline makes sense when we look for Bionic GA kernel, as well. Bionic GA should not include this fix, but HWE should. Could we run the tests again, but focusing on Bionic hwe? Afair hwe runs 4.18, which should include this commit. -- 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/1796292 Title: Tight timeout for bcache removal causes spurious failures Status in curtin: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've had a number of deployment faults where curtin would report Timeout exceeded for removal of /sys/fs/bcache/xxx when doing a mass- deployment of 30+ nodes. Upon retrying the node would usually deploy fine. Experimentally I've set the timeout ridiculously high, and it seems I'm getting no faults with this. I'm wondering if the timeout for removal is set too tight, or might need to be made configurable. --- curtin/util.py~ 2018-05-18 18:40:48.000000000 +0000 +++ curtin/util.py 2018-10-05 09:40:06.807390367 +0000 @@ -263,7 +263,7 @@ return _subp(*args, **kwargs) -def wait_for_removal(path, retries=[1, 3, 5, 7]): +def wait_for_removal(path, retries=[1, 3, 5, 7, 1200, 1200]): if not path: raise ValueError('wait_for_removal: missing path parameter') To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1796292/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
