Title:
  md raid resync causing KVM guests overload

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Everytime  /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray RAID consistency check is being
  executed (started on first sunday of a month by /etc/cron.d/mdadm) on
  Ubuntu 12.04.4 KVM hypervisor, KVM guests running on the host
  (Ubuntu/Debian/Scientific linux/Windows ) start to swap, freeze,
  throwing 'BUG: soft lockup - CPU stuck for..!' errors on the consoles,
  processes are coredumping on the guests etc. KVM host starts to swap
  even it has enough memory available and every disk IO demanding
  operation/process on any guest causes whole environment is affected
  and unusable (similar situation to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/312163).

  RAID check procedure shouldn't cause the KVM guests become unusable.

  Some of the KVM guests use either qcow2 image storage format (virtio)
  or RAW disks (LVM, virtio). All KVM guests are affected.
