Hello All, I am investigating strange behaviour described here https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/2357 and would like to ask for help/advice to diagnose it further. It all boils down to kworker spinning 100% of CPU per iSCSI portal, when logging out from iSCSI sessions. It happens only if multipathd is running or had run and created multipath devices. No problem occur if I mask multipathd, reboot, wait for all scsi devices to be discovered and attempt to logout. 1. start server, login to all iscsi portals, no need to mount anything 2. logout from all or one session. logging out from one sometimes work, but more often does not. Logging out from all simultaneously triggers problem 100% of the time. 3. every iSCSI session we had befor makes kworker to spin. In my case there are 4 portals to NetApp. `l > /proc/sysrq-trigger` shows following stack traces per kworker spinning: [19806.968333] Call Trace: [19806.968347] scsi_remove_device+0x19/0x60 [scsi_mod] [19806.968354] scsi_remove_target+0x167/0x1b0 [scsi_mod] [19806.968355] iscsi_free_session+0x383/0x430 [scsi_transport_iscsi] [19806.968366] process_one_work+0x144/0x350 [19806.968367] worker_thread+0x4d/0x3e0 [19806.968369] kthread+0xfc/0x130 [19806.968370] ? rescuer_thread+0x310/0x310 [19806.968371] ? kthread_park+0x60/0x60 [19806.968372] ? do_syscall_64+0xe9/0x1c0 [19806.968374] ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 4. if I do `multipath -F; for d in $(iscsiadm -m session -P3 |awk '/scsi disk/ {print $4}'); do echo 1 > /sys/block/$d/device/delete; done` before logging out, it works just fine 5. it is reproducible 100% of the time, so I you want me to collect some data, I can run commands for you :) Any help is greatly appreciated.
