doveadm-server hangs with 100% cpu usage

we have some replication issues. From time to time a doveadm-server
process takes 100% cpu in the state recv_mailbox_tree_deletes on the
replica. The process runs forever until it is manually killed. Strace on
this process doesn't show anything.
Sometimes we have several doveadm-server processes in this state, all
for the same account, all with 100% CPU Load.


The logfile on the master says:
 Error: Timeout during state=recv_mailbox_tree
 Error: dsync(dobby5.heinlein-support.de): I/O has stalled, no activity
for 600 seconds


My workaround is to delete the user directory on the replica  so that
the whole account is replicated again. This solves the problem for this
specific account.

The dovecot version is 2.2.15 on the master and 2.2.16 on the replica.

we had the same problems when both servers were on version 2.2.15.

Some bug, but there would need to be a way to reproduce it or otherwise it's
pretty much impossible to find what the bug is and get it fixed.

So killing the doveadm-server process will cause it to hang again for the same
user? That's good, since it means it can be reproduced by taking a copy of
the mailboxes and trying to run "doveadm sync" manually on them
locally, e.g.:

doveadm -D -o mail=mdbox:/tmp/mdbox1 sync mdbox:/tmp/mdbox2

Does that hang? If yes, we can get further with it. The -D parameter is also
helpful here - v2.2.16 logs much more useful debug logging with dsync that can
also help catch these kind of hangs. Even if you can't reproduce the hang
the above way, having mail_debug=yes for dsync and getting the debug logs from a
hanging session would be useful. (But it may also mean that a hang might start
flooding your logs with debug messages and eat up all the disk space.)

i will produce a debug log when the problem occurs next time. For the
last few days everything is working fine.

It's not hanging -- doveadm terminates. But at the end the destination
folder is empty:

root at dobby5:/tmp# doveadm -D -o mail_debug=yes -o mail=mdbox:/tmp/test1
sync mdbox:/tmp/test2
