Hi, The tests for DRBD encountered an issue with dm-delay when testing with a 6.8 series kernel. Specifically on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble". Here is a minimal reproducer: virter vm run --name dm-delay-test --id 10 --wait-ssh ubuntu-noble virter vm ssh dm-delay-test # truncate -s 100M /file # loop_dev=$(losetup -f --show /file) # echo "0 $(blockdev --getsz $loop_dev) delay $loop_dev 0 0" | dmsetup create delay-volume After a few minutes, the following is printed to the kernel log: [ 246.919123] INFO: task dm-delay-flush-:1256 blocked for more than 122 seconds. [ 246.922543] Not tainted 6.8.0-31-generic #31-Ubuntu [ 246.923753] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

This bug appears to have been introduced in Linux v6.7. The following patch fixes the issue. Thanks Christian and Benjamin for the comments on v1! Changes from v1: - Use kthread_run() instead of wake_up_process() Joel Colledge (1): dm-delay: fix hung task introduced by kthread mode drivers/md/dm-delay.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1
