[OE-core] "qemu-arm udevadm hwdb --update" eats swap space after build host update to openSUSE 13.2

[Gaurang Shastri]

Dear Steffen,

I have already raised some similar issue where because of un-appropriate use of "QEMU_OPTIONS" led the post process of udev-hwdb failed.

Anyhow, Richard has created a patch and you can go through the same here at:
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2014-December/099544.html

Let's see if that solves your issue.

Regards,
Gaurang Shastri

Subject: [OE-core] "qemu-arm udevadm hwdb --update" eats swap space after build host update to openSUSE 13.2

After updating our build host from openSUSE 13.1 to 13.2 we're no longer able to build our images with OE (with 13.1 on the same host everything worked well). :(

The first thing we observed was that the do_rootfs stage made a very big load (more than 500) on the machine but the cpu's aren't working for 100%. I could track down the problem to the call

qemu-arm -r 2.6.32 -L /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs -E LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/usr/lib:/pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/lib /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs/bin/udevadm hwdb --update --root /pm/sledz/hipos-dfe.dizzy/build-closed/tmp-glibc/work/hikirk-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hydraip-prodimage/1.0-r0+r16+r17.5/rootfs

which eats swap space without end till the system crashes (more than 100GB swap space ist available).

I've no idea how to inspect this problem further. Any ideas?

Steffen
