Description Richard Purdie 2019-06-12 13:02:21 UTC 
User mode qemu-arm demonstrated a hang whilst building an image, the build was running for 11 hours:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/38/builds/696

its jammed in a core-image-lsb do_rootfs

Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2019-06-12 13:04:34 UTC 
Worker is tumbleweed-ty-1 and the qemu-arm process is using 100% cpu.
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2019-06-12 13:10:47 UTC 
Top shows its been running for:

13046 pokybui+  25   5 4320852  12860   7832 R 100.0 0.010  5124107h qemu-arm 

which is about 805 years.
Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2019-06-13 14:57:07 UTC 
This may be a rare bug that only happens once. Richard may gather more information about the cpu hogging process.
Comment 4 Michael Halstead 2019-06-18 21:56:28 UTC 
I updated the kernel shortly after this bug was filed and the problem has not yet repeated. Tumbleweed is running recent kernels (5.1.5 last week & currently 5.1.7) so we will see new bugs that may never repeat.
Comment 5 Richard Purdie 2019-11-07 15:59:32 UTC 
We believe this was fixed by the kernel changes, it hasn't reappeared so closing, we can reopen if it reoccurs.
