After installing the 4.6 kernel and rebooting, lxd-bridge.service failed
the same way on two boxes:

May 17 11:27:26 lxd-armhf1 lxd-bridge.start[2112]: Failed to setup lxd-bridge.
May 17 11:27:26 lxd-armhf1 lxd-bridge.start[2129]: RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
May 17 11:27:26 lxd-armhf1 lxd-bridge.start[2129]: Failed to setup lxd-bridge.

A simple "brctl addbr foo" does work though, so I guess this happens
later on when trying to add veths to it or setting its IP etc.
Unfortunately there is no dmesg output about this at all. But after
another reboot this curiously succeeded (I verified uname -a that in
both cases I was running 4.6.0).

I now let one box run with 4.6.0, let's see how long it'll hold up.


Another note: With this new kernel, and I think also with the previous 4.4 one, I'm getting an awful lot of "failure to fork" errors, e. g. when trying to run apt-get install; up to the point that right after a fresh boot I can't even install a simple package like "bridge-utils" any more. "ps aux" looks fairly harmless, just 150 lines which includes all the kernel threads. It could of course be that over the course of all the automatic reboots the file system got corrupted in some ways -- but usually another reboot then becomes more lucky and apt-get install (as well as setting up the above bridge) works.

Title:
  [arm64] locks up some time after booting

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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

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