Description

We are using Rudder 2.3 which is using cf-agent 3.2.0 on a server and it stuck on our server for 4 days. We could have met a CFEngine bug.

The message "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for" seems to be related to virtualization environments according to Google... Maybe CFEngine handles it badly, and remains stuck.

I guess we should address this bug directly to CFEngine.

We never succeeded in reproducing it, nor encounter it again.

Perhaps we could report it to CFEngine nonetheless, and close that one ?

On their bugtracker (https://cfengine.com) the versions of CFEngine are from 3.3.0 to 3.6.x then I suppose CFEngine 3.2.0 is no more supported.

What should we do with this bug ? CFEngine 3.2.X seems to be no more supported.

We have put into place automatic detection for many cases when CFEngine gets stuck. Hopefully, these have fixed this issue, since no one has seen it again since we first opened this ticket 15 months ago.

Therefore, let's close it. We can always re-open if it happens again.
