How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

4.2.3

Brief summary

When Dom0 checks for updates, sys-whonix pins one CPU core to 100% and causes heavy load and fan ramp up.

Steps to reproduce

In Dom0 run sudo qubesctl --show-output state.sls update.qubes-dom0 with the UpdateVM set to sys-whonix, then watch top in sys-whonix.

Expected behavior

Dom0 updates without causing heavy load or fan ramp up.

Actual behavior

sys-whonix pins one CPU core to 100%, puts the system under heavy load and causes fans to ramp up.

I have not verified that this doesn't happen with non-Whonix UpdateVMs. Before labeling this as Whonix, please verify that this only happens with sys-whonix as UpdateVM.
