Hi, the system has been running under stress for a while on 6.11.5 with the debugging. I have two observations so far: 1. The bitmap_counts are sometimes low and sometimes very high and intermingled like this: Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721bf1db20000(29009381448+8) 7 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721bf9d6fbf80(29009382168+8) 5 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721beec896f20(29009381928+8) 4294967242 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c108f26f20(29009374480+8) 3 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721bfb083df40(29009381456+8) 7 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721bfc92a2fa0(29009381936+8) 5 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c108f26f20(29009374480+8) 2 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721c074f8df40(29009381464+8) 7 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721bfa3b2df40(29009381944+8) 5 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c108f26f20(29009374480+8) 1 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: __add_stripe_bio: md127: start ff2721beec219fc0(29009381472+8) 4294967268 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c108f26f20(29009374480+8) 0 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721beec030000(29009374488+8) 4294967247 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721beec030000(29009374488+8) 4294967246 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721beec030000(29009374488+8) 4294967245 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721beec030000(29009374488+8) 4294967244 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721beec030000(29009374488+8) 4294967243 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721beec030000(29009374488+8) 4294967242 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721beec030000(29009374488+8) 4294967241 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721bf21496f20(29009374496+8) 6 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721bf21496f20(29009374496+8) 5 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721bf21496f20(29009374496+8) 4 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721bf21496f20(29009374496+8) 3 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721bf21496f20(29009374496+8) 2 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721bf21496f20(29009374496+8) 1 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721bf21496f20(29009374496+8) 0 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c1aa216f20(29009374504+8) 6 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c1aa216f20(29009374504+8) 5 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c1aa216f20(29009374504+8) 4 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c1aa216f20(29009374504+8) 3 Oct 31 20:41:27 barbrady09 kernel: handle_stripe_clean_event: md127: end ff2721c1aa216f20(29009374504+8) 2 Is the high number an indicator of something weird? 2. The printk seems expensive - it might be because there’s a serial console attached, I’m trying to detach it, but it seems things are stubborn in our config. This results in constant high CPU of the md127_raid6 (full single core at 100% accounted as sys time of course) as well as intermittent RCU stalls on printk. I’m wondering whether this will limit the ability to reproduce this … I’ll keep the system running for a bit more and if it doesn’t lock up I’ll try harder to get rid of the serial console.
