https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198187 --- Comment #8 from Jan Kara (jack@xxxxxxx) --- Thanks for the output. So every process there waits for jbd2 thread to commit the running transaction. JBD2 does: [144526.447408] jbd2/dm-19-8 D 0 1580 2 0x00000080 [144526.448176] Call Trace: [144526.448937] __schedule+0x3be/0x830 [144526.449632] ? scsi_request_fn+0x3f/0x6b0 [144526.450310] ? bit_wait+0x60/0x60 [144526.450993] schedule+0x36/0x80 [144526.451673] io_schedule+0x16/0x40 [144526.452343] bit_wait_io+0x11/0x60 [144526.453017] __wait_on_bit+0x58/0x90 [144526.453692] out_of_line_wait_on_bit+0x8e/0xb0 [144526.454371] ? bit_waitqueue+0x40/0x40 [144526.455051] __wait_on_buffer+0x32/0x40 [144526.455731] jbd2_journal_commit_transaction+0xfa4/0x1800 [144526.456414] kjournald2+0xd2/0x270 [144526.457098] ? kjournald2+0xd2/0x270 [144526.457782] ? remove_wait_queue+0x70/0x70 [144526.458470] kthread+0x109/0x140 [144526.459139] ? commit_timeout+0x10/0x10 [144526.459821] ? kthread_park+0x60/0x60 [144526.460497] ? do_syscall_64+0x67/0x150 [144526.461166] ret_from_fork+0x25/0x30 So we have submitted buffers for IO and they have not completed. In cases like this the problem is in 99% of cases either in the storage driver or in the storage firmware. Since you mentioned this started happening after kernel update and you seem to be using only plain SATA drives (am I right?), storage firmware is probably out of question. You seem to be using some kind of RAID on top of these SATA drives, that would look like the most probable culprit at this point. Can you describe your storage configuration? Also output of 'dmsetup table' would be useful. After having that we would probably need to pull in DM developers to have a look.
