[Bug 1531768] [NEW] kernel 4.2/wily on arm64 and multiple CPUs is unusably slow

 

Public bug reported:

I created an 8 CPU arm64 instance on Canonical's Scalingstack (which I
want to use for armhf autopkgtesting in LXD). I started with wily as
that has lxd available (it's not yet available in trusty nor the PPA for
arm64).

However, pretty much any LXD task that I do (I haven't tried much else)
on this machine takes unbearably long. A simple "lxc profile set default
raw.lxc lxc.seccomp=" or "lxc list" takes several minutes.

I see tons of

[ 1121.166926] INFO: task fsnotify_mark:69 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

in dmesg (the attached apport info has the complete dmesg).
