kernel-packages team mailing list archive

[Dave Chiluk <1533043@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks apw for the backport and pushing the patches to the kernel-team
mailing list.

I have packaged up apw's backport for the trusty kernels, and put them in a ppa for testing
https://launchpad.net/~chiluk/+archive/ubuntu/1533043/+packages
I will push kernels for vivid and wily to that ppa as well shortly.

I would greatly appreciate if I could get some testing from the many
users on this bug verifying that the kernels in the ppa resolve the
issue.  When responding please indicate which kernel you tested *(3.13,
3.16, 3.19, 4.2).  Additionally if someone has already tested the kernel
you are testing there is no need to report that here unless your testing
conflicts with the earlier report *(i.e. someone says it works, but it
fails for you).

Also please remember to install both the linux-image package and the
linux-image-extra package as both are required for baremetal
installations.  If you have dkms modules please remember to install the
-headers package as well.

That being said the kernels are still building as of this writing, and
should probably take another hour or two as they are being built with
debug packages enabled just in case..

Thank you,

Bug description:
  AUFS  can hang up (more precisely, produces unkillable processes) with some kernels that contain the commit 296291cdd1629c308114504b850dc343eabc278.

  Many docker users have been experiencing this issue:
  https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/18180

  
  The issue has been fixed since AUFS v20160111: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems.aufs.user/5345
  So I suggest updating AUFS to v20160111.
