Hello Jens, I think I figured out what was going on: * Test 02-mq created scsi-mq SRP paths and multipathd created dm-mq device nodes on top of these SRP paths. * Test 02-sq started with removing the SRP paths and with switching the SCSI and DM cores from mq to sq but did not remove the dm-mq device nodes. When that test script next performed an SRP log in multipathd failed to add the single queue SCSI devices to an existing dm-mq device node. In other words, the dm-mq devices had queue_if_no_path set but did not have any paths. Hence the lockup for requests sent to these dm devices. I have modified my tests scripts such that the dm device nodes from a previous test are removed before a new test starts. Since I made that change I haven't seen any I/O lockup. However, a new issue shows up sporadically, an issue that I had not yet seen during any test with a kernel tree from Linus: [ 227.613440] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP [ 227.613495] Modules linked in: dm_service_time ib_srp scsi_transport_srp target_core_user uio target_core_pscsi target_core_file ib_srpt target_core_iblock target_core_mod brd netconsole xt_CHECKSUM iptable_mangle ipt_MASQUERADE nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 iptable_nat nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat libcrc32c nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_conntrack nf_conntrack ipt_REJECT nf_reject_ipv4 xt_tcpudp tun bridge stp llc ebtable_filter ebtables ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables af_packet ib_ipoib msr rdma_ucm ib_ucm ib_uverbs ib_umad rdma_cm configfs ib_cm iw_cm mlx4_ib ib_core sb_edac edac_core x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp coretemp kvm_intel ipmi_ssif kvm irqbypass crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul crc32c_intel ghash_clmulni_intel pcbc tg3 aesni_intel iTCO_wdt mlx4_core ptp iTCO_vendor_support dcdbas aes_x86_64 crypto_simd glue_helper pps_core cryptd pcspkr devlink ipmi_si libphy ipmi_devintf fjes ipmi_msghandler tpm_tis tpm_tis_core lpc_ich mei_me mfd_core mei shpchp wmi tpm button hid_generic usbhid mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sr_mod sysimgblt fb_sys_fops cdrom ttm drm ehci_pci ehci_hcd usbcore usb_common sg dm_multipath dm_mod scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_alua autofs4 [ 227.613774] CPU: 3 PID: 28 Comm: ksoftirqd/3 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc5-dbg+ #1 [ 227.613840] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
