Hello eveybody. Just played around with 3.17-rc4 and bcache. I've build bcache with a 120G SSD as caching device and a Raid1 device (md4) as backing device. Today under heavy i/o load (moving a 100G VM Image) the machine froze. Call trace is this: Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843075] Task dump for CPU 0: Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843078] bcache_gc R running task 12248 28611 2 0x00080808 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843083] ffffffff81c411c0 ffff88083fa03d78 ffffffff81071492 0000000000000000 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843087] ffffffff81c411c0 ffff88083fa03d98 ffffffff810740b8 ffff88083fa03dd8 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843090] 0000000000000000 ffff88083fa03dc8 ffffffff8108f335 ffff88083fa0d280 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843093] Call Trace: Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843096] <IRQ> [<ffffffff81071492>] sched_show_task+0xc2/0x130 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843108] [<ffffffff810740b8>] dump_cpu_task+0x38/0x40 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843119] [<ffffffff8108f335>] rcu_dump_cpu_stacks+0x85/0xc0 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843131] [<ffffffff81092610>] rcu_check_callbacks+0x3c0/0x680 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843135] [<ffffffff81096e13>] update_process_times+0x43/0x80 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843139] [<ffffffff810a54f1>] tick_sched_handle.isra.13+0x31/0x40 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843142] [<ffffffff810a5667>] tick_sched_timer+0x47/0x70 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843146] [<ffffffff8109766b>] __run_hrtimer+0x7b/0x1c0 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843149] [<ffffffff810a5620>] ? tick_sched_do_timer+0x30/0x30 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843153] [<ffffffff81097e37>] hrtimer_interrupt+0xf7/0x230 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843158] [<ffffffff81033196>] local_apic_timer_interrupt+0x36/0x60 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843162] [<ffffffff810334de>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x3e/0x60 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843166] [<ffffffff8166994a>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6a/0x70 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843168] <EOI> [<ffffffff8148f848>] ? btree_gc_count_keys+0x28/0x60 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843175] [<ffffffff8148f869>] ? btree_gc_count_keys+0x49/0x60 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843178] [<ffffffff814950b5>] btree_gc_recurse+0x1b5/0x320 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843182] [<ffffffff814904f3>] ? btree_gc_mark_node+0x63/0x240 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843186] [<ffffffff81080b2e>] ? __wake_up+0x4e/0x70 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843190] [<ffffffff81495635>] bch_btree_gc+0x415/0x5a0 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843194] [<ffffffff81080780>] ? finish_wait+0x80/0x80 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843197] [<ffffffff814957f8>] bch_gc_thread+0x38/0x120 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843200] [<ffffffff814957c0>] ? bch_btree_gc+0x5a0/0x5a0 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843204] [<ffffffff810672b4>] kthread+0xc4/0xe0 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843207] [<ffffffff810671f0>] ? kthread_worker_fn+0x150/0x150 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843211] [<ffffffff81668aac>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 Sep 15 10:13:48 hn kernel: [82567.843214] [<ffffffff810671f0>] ? kthread_worker_fn+0x150/0x150 That's it. Should i be worried? It's a testing machine of course. thanks and best regards t. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
