With v4 the error normally occur within 5 minutes. The VM is now running for one hour and no soft lockup so far. So I would say it can't be reproduced with v3. > - Have you tried running with stack tracing enabled? > Can you explain this a little bit more please? CONFIG_STACKTRACE=y was already enabled. I've now enabled CONFIG_USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_NOP_TRACER=y CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_NMI_ENTER=y CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER=y CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST=y CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD=y CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y CONFIG_FTRACE_NMI_ENTER=y CONFIG_CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER=y CONFIG_GENERIC_TRACER=y CONFIG_FTRACE=y CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y CONFIG_KMEMTRACE=y CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD=y CONFIG_HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT=y and run echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled But the output is mostly the same in dmesg/ var/log/messages. Can you please guide me how I can enable the stack tracing you need? Thanks!
