Hi I tested kernel 2.6.27.6 with patch from 2.6.28rc (wait for chunks in destructor,fix register_snapshot deadlock,) and I identified next problem with kernel and dm but repeatability this problem is very small.I got call trace: Pid: 26230, comm: kcopyd Not tainted (2.6.27.6 #36) EIP: 0060:[<c044d485>] EFLAGS: 00010282 CPU: 1 EIP is at remove_exception+0x5/0x20 EAX: ca3b5908 EBX: ca3b5908 ECX: 00200200 EDX: 00100100 ESI: f7b489f8 EDI: e92ad980 EBP: 00000000 ESP: f29c7ec0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 Process kcopyd (pid: 26230, ti=f29c6000 task=e8512430 task.ti=f29c6000) Stack: c044e03f 0000000d 00000000 c85948c0 00000000 c044f2e7 0009bc30 00000000 0000e705 00000000 e8e41288 e92ad980 00000000 c044e0f0 e8e41288 c7800ec8 00000000 c0449224 00000000 c7800fb4 00000400 00000000 00000000 f2bdfbb0 Call Trace: [<c044e03f>] pending_complete+0x9f/0x110 [<c044f2e7>] persistent_commit+0xc7/0x110 [<c044e0f0>] copy_callback+0x30/0x40 [<c0449224>] segment_complete+0x154/0x1d0 [<c0448e55>] run_complete_job+0x45/0x80 [<c04490d0>] segment_complete+0x0/0x1d0 [<c0448e10>] run_complete_job+0x0/0x80 [<c0449014>] process_jobs+0x14/0x70 [<c0449070>] do_work+0x0/0x40 [<c0449086>] do_work+0x16/0x40 [<c013502d>] run_workqueue+0x4d/0xf0 [<c013514d>] worker_thread+0x7d/0xc0 [<c01382e0>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x30 [<c0526583>] __sched_text_start+0x1e3/0x4a0 [<c01382e0>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x30 [<c0121a2b>] complete+0x2b/0x40 [<c01350d0>] worker_thread+0x0/0xc0 [<c0137db4>] kthread+0x44/0x70 [<c0137d70>] kthread+0x0/0x70 [<c0104c57>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= Code: 4b 0c e8 cf ff ff ff 8b 56 08 8d 04 c2 8b 10 89 13 89 18 89 5a 04 89 43 04 5b 5e c3 8d 76 00 8d bc 27 00 00 00 00 8b 48 04 8b 10 <89> 11 89 4a 04 c7 00 00 01 10 00 c7 40 04 00 02 20 00 c3 90 8d EIP: [<c044d485>] remove_exception+0x5/0x20 SS:ESP 0068:f29c7ec0 ---[ end trace 834a1d3742a1be05 ]--- addr2line returned include/linux/list.h:93 for EIP c044d485: static inline void __list_del(struct list_head * prev, struct list_head * next) { next->prev = prev; prev->next = next; //line 93 } A few weeks ago I got similar call trace with plain kernel 2.6.27 and patches from mail thread: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00200200 IP: [<c044bf65>] remove_exception+0x5/0x20 *pdpt = 0000000029acc001 *pde = 0000000000000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: iscsi_trgt mptctl mptbase st sg drbd bonding iscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi aacraid sata_nv forcedeth button ftdi_sio usbserial Pid: 31375, comm: kcopyd Not tainted (2.6.27 #21) EIP: 0060:[<c044bf65>] EFLAGS: 00010282 CPU: 1 EIP is at remove_exception+0x5/0x20 EAX: f276da88 EBX: f276da88 ECX: 00200200 EDX: 00100100 ESI: c79a4a58 EDI: c9268cc0 EBP: 00000000 ESP: ecbcbec0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0000 SS: 0068 Process kcopyd (pid: 31375, ti=ecbca000 task=e6d9d220 task.ti=ecbca000) Stack: c044cb1f 0000000e 00000000 c916b480 00000000 c044dde3 00018f47 00000000 00002870 00000000 c70cba48 c9268cc0 00000000 c044cbd0 c70cba48 c720aec8 00000000 c0447d04 00000000 c720afb4 00000400 00000000 00000000 efc65580 Call Trace: [<c044cb1f>] pending_complete+0x9f/0x110 [<c044dde3>] persistent_commit+0xe3/0x110 [<c044cbd0>] copy_callback+0x30/0x40 [<c0447d04>] segment_complete+0x154/0x1d0 [<c0447935>] run_complete_job+0x45/0x80 [<c0447bb0>] segment_complete+0x0/0x1d0 [<c04478f0>] run_complete_job+0x0/0x80 [<c0447af4>] process_jobs+0x14/0x70 [<c0447b50>] do_work+0x0/0x40 [<c0447b66>] do_work+0x16/0x40 [<c013509d>] run_workqueue+0x4d/0xf0 [<c01351bd>] worker_thread+0x7d/0xc0 [<c0138350>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x30 [<c0524f2c>] __sched_text_start+0x1ec/0x4b0 [<c0138350>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x30 [<c0121a9b>] complete+0x2b/0x40 [<c0135140>] worker_thread+0x0/0xc0 [<c0137e24>] kthread+0x44/0x70 [<c0137de0>] kthread+0x0/0x70 [<c0104c57>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= Code: 4b 0c e8 cf ff ff ff 8b 56 08 8d 04 c2 8b 10 89 13 89 18 89 5a 04 89 43 04 5b 5e c3 8d 76 00 8d bc 27 00 00 00 00 8b 48 04 8b 10 <89> 11 89 4a 04 c7 00 00 01 10 00 c7 40 04 00 02 20 00 c3 90 8d EIP: [<c044bf65>] remove_exception+0x5/0x20 SS:ESP 0068:ecbcbec0 ---[ end trace 25afcedfe7eb0a2b ]--- Is this known problem or something new?
