this issue is identical to this mentioned here;

i see suse forms has not provided solution there, i appreciate any help.

@cyphar may be able to help as this is an issue with the native packages rather than the snap. It suggests an issue with dqlite or its dependency chain.

@stgraber @cyphar
this link my core dump, if it might help.

Yeah there was a bug opened a while ago (https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1156336) which I tried to debug, but I had trouble reproducing it (I have run that LXD package on Leap for a fairly long time without issues, and I tried it inside a Leap 15.1 VM and it also worked fine). What kind of hardware are you running on?

Hello @cyphar, its me who opened the bug, you been asking for core dump, so i just uploaded it, please check it.

Ah, okay. I’m at a conference at the moment, I’ll take a look when I get back home on Sunday.

@cyphar i know you might be busy, any chance you could have a look earlier please.

@cyphar any news?

I’m at a conference, and will get back home tomorrow so I will look at it when I have time. I don’t think that’s at all unreasonable. While I do prioritise work related to openSUSE, I’m simply not going to work over the weekend without any kind of compensation – if you are unhappy with that, there are SUSE support contracts which will give you higher levels of support (or I can quote you my hourly overtime rate).

No worries, i myself a student, i understand you very well. whenever you feel like. Or have time to.

This has been fixed for a while, it was a bug in libdqlite (a mutex was being double-unlocked which triggered a GPE due to glibc’s new lock elision implementation that triggers GPEs on certain Intel CPUs).
