Bug Description

I'm using docker-compose to wrangle a bunch of containers, and quite often one of my containers hangs.

When I inspect the process with strace, I see it's blocked on write(2, "...").

/proc/$container_pid/fd/2 is a pipe, the other end of which is managed by a containerd-shim process.

strace -p $containerd_shim_pid shows it blocked in futex(0xad3848, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL).

After enough time passes (around 5 or 10 minutes?) I see that containerd-shim crash with a SIGABRT. This time I had strace still attached:

strace: Process 861273 attached
futex(0xad3848, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL) = ? ERESTARTSYS (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)
--- SIGABRT {si_signo=SIGABRT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=867057, si_uid=0} ---
nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=1000000}, NULL) = 0
nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=1000000}, NULL) = 0
write(2, "SIGABRT: abort", 14) = 14
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
write(2, "PC=", 3) = 3
write(2, "0x45c791", 8) = 8
write(2, " m=", 3) = 3
write(2, "0", 1) = 1
write(2, " sigcode=", 9) = 9
write(2, "0", 1) = 1

write(2, "fs ", 7) = 7
write(2, "0x0", 3) = 3
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
write(2, "gs ", 7) = 7
write(2, "0x0", 3) = 3
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
exit_group(2) = ?
+++ exited with 2 +++

(Full strace log attached, unless I forget)

It would be nice if I could read that Go traceback somewhere instead of looking at truncated strace writes, but I don't know where.

journalctl -u containerd shows only this:

Hello Marius,

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

Since there is not enough information in your report to begin triage or to
differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I
am marking this bug as "Incomplete".

I know you had trouble in getting the strace output already but, if you don't mind, could you please provide us a short reproducer ? This way me or some other person is able to reproduce it locally and chose preferred tools to debug the issue.

Please change status back to New once you're done so this can be triaged again by someone from the Ubuntu Server team.

Thanks a lot.
