RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
When a process was reading Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) sysfs entries while a VDO volume was starting up or shutting down, the process and the VDO task sometimes became unresponsive or terminated unexpectedly. With this update, the sysfs entries are created and released at the correct time. As a result, the described problem no longer occurs

Description Oneata Mircea Teodor 2018-04-16 07:03:27 UTC 
This bug has been copied from bug #1559692 and has been proposed to be backported to 7.5 z-stream (EUS).
Comment 3 Jakub Krysl 2018-05-03 15:35:29 UTC 
Using the reproducer I was not able to get vdo to hang or get any calltrace. Reading from /sys correctly produces either value ('0') or error ('cat: /sys/kvdo/vdo0/statistics/data_blocks_used: No such file or directory'). The start/stop cycle keeps going.
No regressions found as regression testing passed.
