Package: src:linux
Version: 5.17.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading my Debian/testing installation with apt -u dist-upgrade
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
apt -u dist-upgrade
* What was the outcome of this action?
The new 5.17-1 kernel has several issues
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Working Linux kernel with no issues

currently in Debian/testing, the new 5.17 kernel has several issues.

My LIBVIRT KVM VM instances fail to load with this new kernel.

The disk access is slow in some programs, as for example showing the KVM VM
instances in virt-manager fails due to broken disk access.

After some hours of uptime, a kernel thread goes wild and uses 100% of the CPU.

I am also running this new kernel (5.17) on a Debian/testing VMWARE ESXI VPS
instance, at my providers place, where everything works fine. Thus this most
probably an issue with my used hardware.

My hardware is the following:

Does everything work correctly with kernel 5.16.0-6 ?
Sid/Unstable currently has kernel 5.17.11 and it would be useful to know if
the issue is still present in that version. Can you test that?

If it is, then hopefully `dmesg` can give some clues. After you've noticed the
described symptoms again, can you do `dmesg --level emerg,alert,crit,err,warn`
and send that to this bug report?

Dear Diederik,

yes, it works with the kernel 5.16.0-6, but disk access is still slow.
For example, virt-manager/viewer sometimes needs a minute to connect to
the KVM instances on localhost. But not all applications are this slow;
for example the E-Mail client Sylpheed starts as fast as before and is
operating at fast speed.

I assume there is also another bug now in the system, not only due to
the new kernel. There is also another bug in GDM3, which I also
reported: Loading GDM3 after bootup and logging in as normal user is
also very, very slow.

As you suggested, I installed the kernel 5.17.11 from Debian/unstable
and booted into this kernel.

virt-manager and my KVM VM instances do work again, but one VM instance
failed to load after bootup. I restarted the VM instance, and it is now
also operating fine.

When opening the virt-viewer instance from virt-manager, connecting to
the VM is still very slow with kernel 5.17.11. Something must be wrong
I/O wise.

I attached the dmesg output, you requested, as TXT file to this E-mail.

Thank you very much for your answer!

Sincerely,

Adrian Kiess

Ok, but that issue was also happening before 5.17 and is not a new problem.
Do you have a(n old) kernel (still) installed which does NOT have this slow
disk access issue? If it happens on all kernel versions, then a hardware issue
becomes much more likely to be the real culprit.

In your initial report I noticed the following:

Is it normal/expected that IF-ID-[2-5] have "unknown speed: 10 Mbps duplex" ?
If not, that may be worth looking into.

Which sounds like the moment lots of files/data is read from disk to initialize
the session, which does point to a disk issue.
But if the initial boot isn't terribly slow as well, that would be odd.
Or is /home mounted from another disk?

Good, that sounds like major progress :) It looks to me that the KVM problem
is now (mostly?) fixed.

That still/all points to a disk problem

> I attached the dmesg output, you requested, as TXT file to this E-mail.

Couple of things I noticed in the dmesg output:
1) "[Firmware Warn]: HEST: Duplicated hardware error source ID: 9."
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/6/27/370 seems relevant for that as it provided the
better warning, but it also points out that it *is* considered a firmware bug.
I noticed your BIOS is from 2011. Is there a newer version available? If so,
it may be worth trying that out to see if that improves things.

2) Several ACPI related warnings.
No idea if or what should be done with that.

3) "kvm: VM_EXIT_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL does not work properly. Using
workaround" and "kvm: KVM_SET_TSS_ADDR need to be called before entering vcpu"
That looks like there are still KVM related issues (just not or less fatal)
There have been other bug reports related to KVM.

4) BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000000b
That's never good. The dmesg output also contains a Call Trace and several
mentions of KVM, so it looks like there's still something not right about it.
I have no idea how to interpret those Call (or Stack) Traces, so hopefully
someone else chimes in who is familiar with that.

Cheers,
Diederik

That dmesg output sounds a lot like bugs 1010916 and 1011168 and a Xeon
X3430 CPU would be another older one that predates XSAVE.

Dear Diederik,

the new kernel:

root@g6 /opt # uname -a
Linux g6.lan.dac 5.18.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 5.18.2-1
(2022-06-06) x86_64 GNU/Linux

in Debian/testing works again in the way, that LIBVIRT KVM works again!

I most probably found the reason for the slow disk access on my machine:

Please see this new bug report:

Debian Bug report logs - #1013260
coreutils: /bin/chown very slow in conjunction with storebackup

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1013260

Thank you very much for your answer!

Sincerely,
