For what it's worth, some bugs can be easier to reproduce on machines with lots of cores (that might explain why you couldn't reproduce it on your local laptop).
I recall that bug #1011792 never happened on our local 4-cores VM, but the same workload would lock up a 8-cores VM in a few hours. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1275809 Title: (docker/lxc) container restart causes kernel to lockup Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: After restarting some 'ghost' docker containers on precise with the raring-lts kernel, the kernel locks up and shows: [1095015.392057] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [gunicorn:12804] ... (for each core) Here is the original, more docker focused bug report: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/3873 I could reproduce this bug with various kernel versions. I've set the softlockup_panic=1 kernel parameter to get some stack traces.
