Ubuntu 18.04 systemd-udevd uses high CPU, conflict with wifi

Solution 1

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (AMD64) on my Dell XPS Studio 1340 and I was suffering the same issue. I've solved it by completely disabling Bluetooth from the BIOS. I know it isn't a solution but a workaround, but it works for me because I rarely use Bluetooth.

It looks like a bug in the kernel or systemd without a fix yet:

Solution 2

Here's a workaround:

Immediately after booting, run the following commands:

sudo systemctl stop systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-udevd-control.socket
sudo systemctl start systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-udevd-control.socket

It worked on my Dell laptop.

Solution 3

I think I've figured out the answer.

Run 

/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd -D

should print garbage in endless loop containing ".../97-hid2hci.rules:"

If so, edit /lib/udev/rules.d/97-hid2hci.rules

and add

ACTION=="add"

in front of line mentioned by above command.

It should be something like this (I'm using fedora 28, but the problem looked identical):

ACTION=="add", ATTR{bInterfaceClass}=="03", ATTR{bInterfaceSubClass}=="01", ATTR{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02", \
  ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="e0", \
  RUN+="hid2hci --method=dell --devpath=%p", ENV{HID2HCI_SWITCH}="1"

With above fix, everything works perfect on my old Dell. Hope that helps ;)

Solution 4

As stated already in the previous answers, it's related to not the best one Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth and I've been also affected by it with my Dell Studio XPS 1645.

Not only the bluetooth support has worked badly for a couple of years, now there is that new problem in kernel drivers affecting CPU usage.

I would just add that instead of removing /lib/udev/rules.d/97-hid2hci.rules file it's better to create an empty file instead:

touch /etc/udev/rules.d/97-hid2hci.rules

That will guarantee the issue not to reappear after bluez package update.

On a side note, I've finished with buying a bluetooth dongle for a pound or two on ebay but I'd rather have the laptop working as expected, of course.

Solution 5

In my case, this issue was due to bluez. Open Synaptic package manager and search for bluez, and uninstall it. Your problem will be solved.

    I recently switched from Kubuntu 17.10 to Kubuntu 18.04 (fresh installed). The problem is the process systemd-udevd is constantly running and consuming 90-100% CPU load. After tinkering around with all devices I found out that it is because of WiFi! Once I turn on WiFi the process starts running and CPU load goes up to 100%. But whenever I turn off the WiFi it gets down to zero! here is the top results when WiFi is on:

      PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

    My fresh installed Kubuntu is using kernel version 4.15.0-20-generic and my laptop is a Dell Studio XPS 1640. WiFi is using bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4 driver (downgrading to a previous working driver didn't solve the problem).

    It's worth mentioning that no USB devices are connected, only a wireless mouse, which makes no problem (disconnecting it doesn't affect the problem). But as mentioned turning off WiFi always make the high CPU load disappear.

    Unfortunately i had to downgrade to 17.10 because of some conflicts in php and mysql libraries so i can't test the suggestions. But it seems that the proposed solution solves the problem. So i accept it as the correct answer. Thanks for the input.

    I reinstalled kubuntu 18.04 to test it out. It works perfectly and now cpu fan is sleeping like a baby! Thanks for the suggestions.

    Thanks. There must have been a bluez update for ubuntu 18.04 this week, as the CPU issue returned, as did this rules file. I'll create the dummy file as you suggest.

    Disabling bluetooth fixed this issue for my Precision M4400 running OpenSUSE (kernel 4.17.14). Thanks!

    I can confirm this works partially on a Latitude E5500. The high CPU usage is gone and BT can actually be toggled in the settings. The weird thing is that even though BT is clearly on (blue indicator lights up, and the machine is discoverable), the settings menu insists that BT is off, so no devices can be paired.

    Confirmed this worked for me as well. In my case the error was not related to bluetooth, but some nvidia card thing that was performed repeatedly.

    As I understand, before all hardware is discovered properly, bind/unbind start executing when no procedures are available and it does not get reinitialized. After stopping and starting, it gets all the procedures in place. Probably, it is booting sequence problem.

    Alright, this fixed the issue. But may I know what exactly adding ACTION=="add" does?

    I got similar problem after hardware change (physically removed nvidia graphics card). Looks like the trick helped, at least temporarily.

    … (after card removal systemd-udevd stayed at 100% cpu andkern.log flood with errors like "NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!" and few similar emitted in hundreds per second). Looks like the trick offered in this comment helped, at least temporarily.

    On Ubuntu 20.04, I upgrade the kernel to the latest version and the issue was resolved.

    What is this service used for? I'm afraid it might destroy my computer. Is it fine to disable it completely?
