Hi folks, I'm seeing hangs like this when using DAX on XFS on 4.3-rc1 running xfstests generic/075 (fsx test): # echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger [71628.984872] sysrq: SysRq : Show Blocked State [71628.985988] task PC stack pid father [71628.987635] fsx D ffff88043fd756c0 12824 520 32636 0x00000000 [71628.989251] ffff88007f557ba8 0000000000000086 ffff88042eb40580 ffff8803c8bcc180 [71628.990645] ffff88007f558000 ffff88041d748e80 ffff88041d748e68 ffffffff00000000 [71628.992068] 00000000fffffffe ffff88007f557bc0 ffffffff81d855ca ffff8803c8bcc180 [71628.993639] Call Trace: [71628.994097] [<ffffffff81d855ca>] schedule+0x3a/0x90 [71628.994997] [<ffffffff81d88021>] rwsem_down_write_failed+0x141/0x340 [71628.996197] [<ffffffff81792e13>] call_rwsem_down_write_failed+0x13/0x20 [71628.997548] [<ffffffff81d87854>] ? down_write+0x24/0x40 [71628.998502] [<ffffffff812110b6>] __dax_fault+0x546/0x6c0 [71628.999469] [<ffffffff814b2900>] ? xfs_get_blocks+0x20/0x20 [71629.000515] [<ffffffff814bd758>] xfs_filemap_fault+0xc8/0xf0 [71629.001668] [<ffffffff811a0abd>] __do_fault+0x3d/0x80 [71629.002589] [<ffffffff811a49da>] handle_mm_fault+0xb8a/0xfd0 [71629.003620] [<ffffffff81094e3f>] __do_page_fault+0x15f/0x420 [71629.004680] [<ffffffff810951c3>] trace_do_page_fault+0x43/0x110 [71629.005877] [<ffffffff8108fd0a>] do_async_page_fault+0x1a/0xa0 [71629.006936] [<ffffffff81d8b6c8>] async_page_fault+0x28/0x30 __dax_fault() gets stuck on this lock: (gdb) l *(__dax_fault+0x546) 0xffffffff812110b6 is in __dax_fault (include/linux/fs.h:499). 494 495 int mapping_tagged(struct address_space *mapping, int tag); 496 497 static inline void i_mmap_lock_write(struct address_space *mapping) 498 { 499 down_write(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem); 500 } 501 502 static inline void i_mmap_unlock_write(struct address_space *mapping) 503 { This didn't happen on 4.2 + the XFS for-next code that was merged into 4.3-rc1, so it's come from changes somewhere else in the merge. I suspect either of these two commits: 46c043e mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX 8431729 dax: fix race between simultaneous faults as they both modified the i_mmap_lock usage for DAX page faults.
