I played around some time, but none of tricks was not able to 'free' vim (not the disk reinitialization, not the pci bus rescan).<br>
<br>
In my case that happens after rather brutal test of 'snapshot creating during 32 concurrent read/write operations from instance'.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have experienced "rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks" in ubuntu vms, which result in dead vm that can't be rebooted/deleted, and I believe it's because of either bug in hypervisor kernel or guest kernel.<br>
<br>
I'd like to know which os version and kernel version do you use in production. Both public and private clouds are welcome. My company plans to run a small (to medium) private cloud. Hypervisor runs ubuntu 12.04 and the first guest OSes will be ubuntu 12.04 and CentOS 6. So kernel version for those is much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Is there a wiki page about this?<br>
<br>
PS. Here is a combination that have the above mentioned error:<br>
<br>
hypervisor os: ubuntu 12.04.3<br>
hypervisor kernel: 3.8.0-35-generic<br>
vm os: ubuntu 12.04<br>
vm kernel: 3.2.0-56-virtual<br>
openstack: havana<br>
libvirt: 1.1.1-0ubuntu8~cloud2<br>

<br>
I don't have a 100% way to reproduce the problem, but it happens quite often, no matter when the vm is idle or loaded, which is not acceptable in production.<br>
