Just to be clear; you weren't able to reproduce it on stock 2.6.29-rc7 ---- does it reproduce easily on linux-next? Next question --- does the system hang completely, or just the dbench process (and probably any process that tries touching the filesystem that's hung up)? Do you have a serial console, or someone of recording all of the dumps coming from sysrq-t? The two stack traces you gave weren't the ones causing the problem, but rather the ones waiting for the journal lock. I don't think is related to BZ #12579, although some of the symptoms look superficially the same. - Ted P.S. What are your dbench parameters, and how big is your filesystem, so I can try to reproduce it on my side? And how long do you typically need to run before this triggers?
