[libvirt-users] VM crash : Failed to terminate process X with SIGKILL: Device or resource busy

Thu Apr 21 22:30:49 UTC 2016

Hello

since I changed my hypervisor from centos 6.3 to Fedora-23
I had many problems with differents VMs.

Very often once by day ( I have about 150 VM ),
some VMs crash or  freeze indifferently and I got
messages like this on console.

   [<fffffffff8000a08bd>] wake_bit_funtion +0w0/0x23.....
   [<fffffffff8800a0ead>] :jbd:journal_get_write_access+0x22/0x33
;;;;
   [<fffffffff800013ccd>] :ext3:ext3_dirty_inode+0x63/0x7b

And so the VM is crashed and can't be accessed but often the ping command
can respond

Before my migration I never meet these problems, It 's strictly the same
VMs between the  6.3 and
fedora23 release. I just changed the parameter :

  <type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel-6.0.0'>hvm</type>
to
  <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-2.4'>hvm</type>
and do a virsh define

I tried some other version of the parameters without success.

and I also added a lockd manager in fedora23.

Before and I used libvirt.0.9.5 or 1.0.2 on centos 6.03 without lockd

A major problem with these crashs is that  the VMs couldn't be destroyed
by the virsh command, the qemu process is notified as defunct by the ps
command
If I try a virsh destroy
I get in log file

or on console

Failed to terminate process xxx with SIGTERM: Device or resource busy
and the VM is still in the list in a "Stopping" state

Result of ps ps on the the qemu process attached to the VM

qemu      8720     1  0 avril20 ?      00:07:16
[qemu-system-x86] <defunct>

root      8735     2  0 avril20 ?      00:00:00
[kvm-pit/8720]

libvirtd seems to be in an anormal state. If I restart the libvirtd
the virsh command just hang and never remove the VM from the list.

The only seems to reboot the hypervisor but all the VMs in production too.

Is there a way to remove the process qemu in defunct state without reboot
the hypervisor.
Perhaps the probleme come from the VM parameters which have been created on
6.3 Centos and libvirt <1.0 version. Do I need to convert some other
parameters ?

I 'am trying to put a new hypervisor in aFailed to terminate process X with
SIGKILL: Device or resource busy version level less than fedora23 perhaps a
Centos 7.2 to
see what 's happen and if there is a problem like mine.

Thanks

PS:
I put the log_level to 1
