Summary... For Ubuntu Bionic, dpkg triggers for systemd (237-3ubuntu10.39) might have caused systemd to hang:

Completion did not happen for the past 2 minutes. Without a kernel dump it is hard to tell if completion was still ok - due to kthread being overloaded doing scheduled work and/or the marks group destruction - or there was a dead lock for the completion due to a kernel bug. If this is reproducible, I think that having a kernel dump would help identifying the issue. I'm letting the kernel team to handle this and marking all other issues as dealt per previous comments. ** No longer affects: ipmitool (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: maas Status: New => Invalid ** Summary changed: - commissioning fails due to hung tasks setting up ipmitool + [Ubuntu][Bionic] systemd caused kernel to hang on fsnotify wait-on-completion ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: linux (Ubuntu) ** Project changed: linux => linux (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872021 Title: [Ubuntu][Bionic] systemd caused kernel to hang on fsnotify wait-on- completion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1872021/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
