Hi, for our customers we are porting lustre to more recent kernel versions and a customer just run into a bug, which probably I introduced (wrote the ll_file_aio_write() function). For me it looks more like a generic vfs problem than a lustre problem, so I'm asking here. The trace is generic_file_aio_write_nolock() ll_file_aio_write() do_sync_write() ll_file_write() In do_sync_write() the call is ret = filp->f_op->aio_write(&kiocb, &iov, 1, kiocb.ki_pos); later on in generic_file_aio_write() it runs into BUG_ON(iocb->ki_pos != pos); In ll_file_aio_write() we only do some lustre locking and lock inode->i_mutex and then already call generic_file_aio_write_nolock(). I'm now wondering how iocb->ki_pos can be different from pos. Some locking missing? Thanks a lot in advance, Bernd [166319.275484] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [166319.280281] kernel BUG at mm/filemap.c:2358!
