Hi Ulf, Adrian, returning to our conversation about MMC blk-mq issues https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-snps-arc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg03330.html I played a bit with IO schedulers, bonnie++ and MMC on newer kernel (v4.19) I still can reproduce errors about hung task when I run bonnie++ benchmark on arc/hsdk board (ARC HS38 CPU, Synopsys DW MMC controller). Error message is like: ----------------------------->8---------------------------- # mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/mmcblk0p4 EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p4): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

I tried to use both 'mq-deadline' and 'bfq' io- schedulers and this issue is reproduced with both of them. I tried to use different SD cards (just in case) and this issue is reproduced with SD cards from different vendors. In all cases 'DETECT_HUNG_TASK' config option was enabled for all boards (it is disabled by default) ------------------------- ---->8---------------------------- DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y DEFAULT_HUNG_TASK_TIMEOUT=10 ----------------------------->8---------------------------- I don't think that this issue is somehow HW or platform related given that it is reproduced on completely different HW stacks. Probably we don't see a lot of reports about it because hang task detection is debug feature which is disabled in most of cases. Just to remind: git bisect give us that issue appears after commit 81196976ed94 (mmc: block: Add blk-mq support). @Ulf, could I ask you to take look at this? Thanks. -- Eugeniy Paltsev
