If we are really having troubles with typing again on ppc64le then we should not take this lightly. All our current ppc64le are considered to be stable. This needs to be handled urgently. Please see which worker was used and consult QA tools team.

There is code to cancel the test, if the key event queue fills up.
See backend/qemu.pm:

for my $line (split(/\n/, $buffer)) {
    bmwqemu::diag "QEMU: $line";
    die "QEMU: Shutting down the job" if $line =~ m/key event queue full/;
}

But it doesn't seem as if it would have been executed on the affected test.

Generally reading the Bugzilla ticket it seems that the workaround of setting qemu argument -smp 1,threads=1 improves the test stability,
but it still happens sometimes.
Looking at the previous results the tests look pretty stable though.

Keeping this on feedback as there is nothing we can do about this at the moment (there is no real progress in bugzilla and there is no real input from IBM, yet).

Looking at https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1655297 I can see that at least 10 jobs in a row succeeded so it's not a big issue in general. With the current workarounds in place I guess we are fine for the time being.
