I resolved this problem by add timeout in runner/connection_plugins/ssh.py, such as:

157 import time
158 start = time.time()
159 TIMEOUT = self.runner.timeout*2
160 while True:
161 rfd, wfd, efd = select.select(rpipes, , rpipes, 1)
162
163 # fail early if the sudo/su password is wrong
164 if self.runner.sudo and sudoable:
165 if self.runner.sudo_pass:
166 incorrect_password = gettext.dgettext(
167 “sudo”, “Sorry, try again.”)
168 if stdout.endswith(“%s\r\n%s” % (incorrect_password,
169 prompt)):
170 raise errors.AnsibleError(‘Incorrect sudo password’)
171
172 if stdout.endswith(prompt):
173 raise errors.AnsibleError(‘Missing sudo password’)
174
175 if self.runner.su and su and self.runner.su_pass:
176 incorrect_password = gettext.dgettext(
177 “su”, “Sorry”)
178 if stdout.endswith(“%s\r\n%s” % (incorrect_password, prompt)):
179 raise errors.AnsibleError(‘Incorrect su password’)
180
181 end = time.time()
182 if TIMEOUT <= (end - start):
183 raise errors.AnsibleError(‘Read ssh stdin timeout’)

Is there any way to resolve that?

Thank you.

facts themselves have a timeout around them, but it is on the target
side, IIRC we also have a connection timeout but that might be a bit
longer.

In any case, try with latest devel, there have been many changes to
the connections and this might have been 'fixed'.

Ok, thank you.
