Hi, I am seeing Soft lockup during device discovery on 2.6.31-rc1. I am having 256 Volumes with 2 paths to each controller and DM multipath configured for these Volumes. As soon as device discovery starts I am seeing below traces in syslog. Regards, Vijay syslog snippet. ------------------------ Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: Modules linked in: dm_round_robin scsi_dh_rdac ipv6 autofs4 hidp rfcomm l2cap bluetooth rfkill sunrpc dm_multipath scsi_dh video output sbs sbshc battery acpi_memhotplug ac parport_pc lp parport sr_mod cdrom joydev sg dcdbas serio_raw rtc_cmos rtc_core rtc_lib button qla2xxx lpfc scsi_transport_fc ata_piix libata bnx2 pcspkr dm_snapshot dm_zero dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod shpchp megaraid_sas sd_mod scsi_mod ext3 jbd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd ehci_hcd [last unloaded: freq_table] Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: Pid: 15631, comm: async/7 Tainted: G D 2.6.31-rc1 #1 PowerEdge R710 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff812d303d>] [<ffffffff812d303d>] lock_kernel+0x24/0x39 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: RSP: 0018:ffff88009a9fdd98 EFLAGS: 00000283 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: RAX: 000000000000403e RBX: ffff8800910fe400 RCX: ffff88001631d2b8 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: ffff88001631d1c0 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: RBP: ffffffff8100c2ce R08: 8000000000000000 R09: 0410085000000010 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: R10: 00014a511e9cd9e0 R11: ffffffff8112299e R12: ffff88009a9fdd10 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: R13: ffff88009a9fddd0 R14: 0000003000000020 R15: ffffffff811574d5 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88002804b000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: CR2: 00007f3f77c60000 CR3: 00000000aa7fc000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: Call Trace: Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810d81c5>] ? __blkdev_get+0x1d/0x32a Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810d7d07>] ? bdget+0x105/0x10d Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810ff7ce>] ? register_disk+0xaf/0x10a Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff8114e2ba>] ? add_disk+0xaa/0x105 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffffa008bba6>] ? sd_probe_async+0x120/0x1d9 [sd_mod] Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81054b70>] ? async_thread+0x0/0x1ea Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81054c70>] ? async_thread+0x100/0x1ea Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810353ff>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x9 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81050416>] ? kthread+0x84/0x8e Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff8100c93a>] ? child_rip+0xa/0x20 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffffa005f82e>] ? scsi_request_fn+0x0/0x48e [scsi_mod] Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81050392>] ? kthread+0x0/0x8e Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff8100c930>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 Jul 2 16:41:55 localhost kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 61s!
