[regression potential] as this adds a check before attempting to online memory for hyper-v and xen vm guests, any regression would likely involve failure to correctly online all memory on those guest platforms. [scope] this rule has been around for a long time, so is needed for x/b/f/g. [original description] In focal, udev's 40-vm-hotadd.rules (from debian/extra/rules-ubuntu) tries to write to invalid (as of 5.4.0-1010-azure) sysfs nodes resulting in warnings such as: Apr 29 22:36:46 focal01 systemd-udevd[266]: memory7: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/40-vm-hotadd.rules:9 Failed to write ATTR{/sys/devices/system/memory/memory7/state}, ignoring: Invalid argument Perhaps 40-vm-hotadd.rules needs to be updated for 5.4 semantics, removed, or something else. This behavior is present on systems upgraded from 18.04 (via d-r-u) as well as new focal systems, upon first reboot of the VM. udev: 245.4-4ubuntu3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1876018/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
