https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108631 --- Comment #7 from Norman Meilick <nm@xxxxxx> --- I'm sorry for the long delay, testing took longer than expected. While we could trigger the problem every time with kernels 3.14 to 3.18, it took 2-3 attempts (usually about 8 hours of backing up around 2.5M files) until the spinlock contention appeared with kernels 4.2.0 and 4.4.0-rc8. Since applying Jan's patches to 4.4.0-rc8 we have not experienced any problems, so it seems to us that this fixed the issue. Thank you very much to both of you. I'm also grateful for the advice regarding containers. On our test server we only have six containers with a modest memory use (we made sure to monitor it during the tests), so this likely wasn't an issue there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
