kernel panics with 4.14.X versions

Hi all,

We have observed kernel panics on several master kubernetes clusters, where we run kubernetes API services and not application workloads.

Those clusters use kernel version 4.14.14 and 4.14.32, but we switched everything to kernel version 4.14.32 as a way to address the issue.

We have HP and Dell hardware on those clusters, and network cards are also different, we have bnx2x and mlx5_core in use.

We also run kernel version 4.14.32 on different type of workloads, software load balancing using HAProxy, and we don't have any crashes there.

Since the crash happens on different hardware, we think it could be a kernel issue, but we aren't sure about it. Thus, I am contacting kernel people in order to get some hint, which can help us to figure out what causes this.

In our kubernetes clusters, we have instructed the kernel to panic upon soft lockup, we use 'kernel.softlockup_panic=1', 'kernel.hung_task_panic=1' and 'kernel.watchdog_thresh=10'. Thus, we see the stack traces. Today, we have disabled this, later I will explain why.

I believe we have two discint types of panics, one is trigger upon soft lockup and another one where the call trace is about scheduler("sched: Unexpected reschedule of offline CPU#8!)

Let me walk you through the kernel panics and some observations.

The followin series of stack traces are happening when one CPU (CPU 24) is stuck for ~22 seconds. watchdog_thresh is set to 10 and as far as I remember softlockup threshold is (2 * watchdog_thresh), so it makes sense to see the kernel crashing after ~20seconds.

After the stack trace, we have the output of sar for CPU#24 and we see that just before the crash CPU utilization for system level went to 100%. Now let's move to another panic.

The following panic is from a different server and we see the same symptom, kernel panics due to a soft lockup and CPU#21 has 100% utilization for system level. In this panic we see a timeout from the network driver for queuing packets, I believe this is the symptom and not the cause, as a server with mellox driver had a similar soft lockup.

The fact we see one CPU spinning at 100% utilization in all above crashes is a good thing, as we can use it as a start point for our investigation. We just need to find out which (kernel/hardware/network driver/userland application) process makes a single CPU to be stuck. Thus, we disabled the trigger to panic the kernel when a soft lockup occurs, and we hope can find out the process.

The following panic is from the second type of panics I mentioned, where we don't observe soft lockups and CPU utilization is close to zero before the crash.
