Title:
[4.8 regression] boot has become very slow
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in linux source package in Yakkety:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
With yakkety's recent update from linux 4.4 to 4.8 booting has become
a lot slower. It's not one service in particular, but without "quiet"
and "splash" you can now easily read every single line instead of that
whole wall of text zipping by. It now takes over 20s instead of ~10
seconds to boot.
This is even more dramatic when factoring out the recent boot hang of
NetworkManager (bug 1622893) and disabling lightdm:
sudo systemctl mask NetworkManager NetworkManager-wait-online
lightdm
then booting with 4.4 takes 1.5s and with 4.8 19.5s (!).
Some excerps from systemd-analyze blame:
4.4:
474ms [email protected]
395ms lxd-containers.service
305ms networking.service
4.8:
4.578s [email protected]
7.300s lxd-containers.service
6.285s networking.service
I attach the full outputs of critical-chain and analyze for 4.4 and
4.8 for reference.
This is much less noticeable in the running system. There is no
immediate feeling of sluggishness (although my system is by and large
idle).
I compared the time of sbuilding colord under similar circumstances
(-j4, building on tmpfs, thus no hard disk delays; running with fully
pre-loaded apt-cacher-ng thus no random network delays), and with 4.4
it takes 6.5 minutes and with 4.8 it takes 7.5. So that got a bit
slower, but much less dramatically than during boot, so this is either
happening when a lot of processes run in parallel, or is perhaps
related to setting up cgroups.
One thing I noticed that during sbuild in 4.8 "top" shows ridiculous
loads (~ 250) under 4.8, while it's around 4 or 5 under 4.4. But that
doesn't reflect in actual sluggishness, so this might be just an
unrelated bug.
