Public bug reported: I have automation suite, which uses ssh to connect to servers.
Under high speed conditions (I was never able to reproduce this manually, but many times in the script), ssh can stuck in an endless loop, causing 100% CPU usage. strace on it looks like this: ioctl(5, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_CONTINUE or TCSETSF, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) --- SIGTTOU {si_signo=SIGTTOU, si_code=SI_KERNEL} --- rt_sigreturn({mask=[]}) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) ioctl(5, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0 ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_CONTINUE or TCSETSF, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set) (repeated endlessly) Command line during call: timeout 120 ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o UpdateHostKeys=no -i /tmp/DIBCTL_ssh_keylN8SGlprivate cloud-user@188.42.217.229 uname -a (IP address and a private key are changed on every run). This ssh script is called from a shell script, which is in turn called by python supbrocess.check_call() function, with no special settings for stdout/stderr/stdin (all connected to console). backtrace: #0 0x00007fe7ad8f4ed8 in tcsetattr () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x000055cbfd2544d6 in ??
