[Bug 1223055] Re: System Hangs With Kernel Migration Processes Consuming 100% CPU

 

When the system hung this afternoon, I was able to recover control by
killing the X server with a QUIT signal (3). However, when I logged back
in from the display manager (LightDM), the color palette was messed up.
Logging out and back did not resolve the problem. I finally power cycled
the machine and all was well again.

Title:
  System Hangs With Kernel Migration Processes Consuming 100% CPU

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Once or twice a week, the system becomes non-responsive, with the
  mouse cursor tracking mouse movement but no keyboard response. Until
  today I would resort to using the kernel magic keys to reboot the
  system (R-E-I-S-U-B). Today I remotely logged in from another machine
  on the LAN and discovered that not only was the kernel alive and all
  processes running, but that the "migration/0" and "migration/1"
  processes were consuming 50% of the CPU each, as reported by top(1). I
  suspect this is why the system becomes non-responsive.
