I built a new kernel on 4.13-rc3 The soft lockups are gone for me with 10 parallel writes. I also have not seen a hard lockup so far. What is important to note is that if I use the [none] scheduler I am still stable but I will sporadically get the ****** "[38071.773471] device-mapper: multipath: blk_get_request() returned -11 - requeuing " However that is not unexpected I guess. The ( requeuing messages) do NOT show up with [mq-deadline] which is all I was testing with last night and yesterday. So when I said they are gone, that was specifically for [mq-deadline] Patches look good and are helping. I will circle back and patch and test on Ming's kernel. For the series except PATCH2/7 and including [PATCH] block: Make blk_mq_delay_kick_requeue_list() rerun the queue at a quiet time Tested-by: Laurence Oberman <loberman@xxxxxxxxxx> Thanks Laurence -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
