My laptop deadlocked some more times (everything works until it needs to touch the filesystem, and then it's deadlocked). Unfortunately, I can trigger sysrq, but it doesn't get committed to disk and netconsole eats half of it because it goes too fast for UDP apparently Now, I just captured that on my server with serial console. 11005 1-16:11:10 wait_current_trans.isra.15 /usr/bin/zma -m 3 14441 1-16:07:44 wait_current_trans.isra.15 /usr/bin/zma -m 1 17045 1-23:53:33 wait_current_trans.isra.15 /usr/bin/zma -m 9 22261 2-00:40:36 wait_current_trans.isra.15 /usr/bin/zma -m 6 22292 2-00:40:36 wait_current_trans.isra.15 /usr/bin/zma -m 8 19911 09:29:35 wait_current_trans.isra.15 rm -f -- /mnt/dshelf2/backup/0Notmachines/mysql//mysql.daily.sql.gz.13 /mnt/dshelf2/backup/0Notmachines/mysql//mysql.daily.sql.gz.13.gz 22848 1-05:18:35 wait_current_trans.isra.15 rm -f -- mnt/dshelf2/backup/0Notmachines/jen//backup.tar.bz.11 mnt/dshelf2/backup/0Notmachines/jen//backup.tar.bz.11.gz Those are 2 different filesystems (one single device mapper disk, the other one is btrfs raid1), so I'm not sure which one of the 2 caused the problem, but I'm perplexed as to why one would than hang the other, unless they both hit the same bug? The sysrq-w output is here: http://marc.merlins.org/tmp/btrfs-hang.txt but here is one hung process: zma D 0000000000000003 0 22292 1 0x20020084 ffff880074733bb0 0000000000000082 ffff8800c933f270 ffff880074733fd8 ffff8801853b4610 00000000000141c0 ffff8801aac60f00 ffff880036caa9e8 0000000000000000 ffff880036caa800 ffff8801db59f0c0 ffff880074733bc0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8161d3c6>] schedule+0x73/0x75 [<ffffffff8122a87b>] wait_current_trans.isra.15+0x98/0xf4 [<ffffffff810847ed>] ? finish_wait+0x65/0x65 [<ffffffff8122bd95>] start_transaction+0x498/0x4fc [<ffffffff8122be14>] btrfs_start_transaction+0x1b/0x1d [<ffffffff8123602a>] btrfs_create+0x3c/0x1ce [<ffffffff81298985>] ? security_inode_permission+0x1c/0x23 [<ffffffff8115e93e>] ? __inode_permission+0x79/0xa4 [<ffffffff8115fbfc>] vfs_create+0x66/0x8c [<ffffffff8116095e>] do_last+0x5af/0xa23 [<ffffffff81161009>] path_openat+0x237/0x4de [<ffffffff81162408>] do_filp_open+0x3a/0x7f [<ffffffff8161faeb>] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x17/0x2a [<ffffffff8116c3eb>] ? __alloc_fd+0xea/0xf9 [<ffffffff8115499d>] do_sys_open+0x70/0xff [<ffffffff81194e20>] compat_SyS_open+0x1b/0x1d [<ffffffff8162842c>] sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x21 As per the other thread, I'm happy to test a patch against 3.15, but not hot about switching to a likely even less stable 3.16 since it's a real server with real data.
