Hi, is there any update regarding this bug? I can easily reproduce this issue on our cluster with the following scenario: - Start a few hundred processes on different nodes, each process writing slowly some text into its own output file - Call: watch -n1 'grep mycustomerrorstring *.out' - Hit CTRL+C (crashes the machine not always, but on a regular basis) We are using a 4.4.25 kernel with some additional ceph patches borrowed from newer kernel releases.

Checking the thread_info struct of the task in question it does have TIF_SIGPENDING set and indeed the crash's "sig" command (if I'm reading correctly the output" indicates that signal 15 (SIGTERM) is pending: SHARED_PENDING SIGNAL: 0000000000004000 SIGQUEUE: SIG SIGINFO 15 ffff8801439a5d78 > > Thanks, > > Ilya > _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
