Hi David, I moved the cachedfilesd dir to an ext3 filesystem. # grep '^dir' /etc/cachefilesd.conf dir /var/cache/fscache # mount | grep /var/cache/fscache /dev/mapper/vg-fscache on /var/cache/fscache type ext3 (rw,user_xattr) Here is the latest lockdep event. I'd blame xfs, but I run other systems with xfs, but without fscache... maybe they just don't play well together. -Bart ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.30-kvm4-dirty #5 --------------------------------- inconsistent {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} -> {IN-RECLAIM_FS-W} usage. kswapd1/426 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (&(&ip->i_lock)->mr_lock){++++?+}, at: [<ffffffff80365a9b>] xfs_ilock+0x60/0x7e {RECLAIM_FS-ON-W} state was registered at: [<ffffffff802694a9>] mark_held_locks+0x4d/0x6b [<ffffffff80269575>] lockdep_trace_alloc+0xae/0xcf [<ffffffff802d1838>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x27/0x10d [<ffffffff80380b5c>] kmem_zone_alloc+0x6c/0xb7 [<ffffffff80380bbb>] kmem_zone_zalloc+0x14/0x35 [<ffffffff80356eff>] xfs_da_state_alloc+0x1a/0x1c [<ffffffff8035e78d>] xfs_dir2_node_lookup+0x1c/0xee [<ffffffff8035a11a>] xfs_dir_lookup+0x10b/0x158 [<ffffffff8037e716>] xfs_lookup+0x50/0xb3 [<ffffffff803876f2>] xfs_vn_lookup+0x44/0x83 [<ffffffff802e0050>] do_lookup+0xdc/0x1c0 [<ffffffff802e231b>] __link_path_walk+0x96a/0xdf9 [<ffffffff802e29b8>] path_walk+0x6e/0xd9 [<ffffffff802e2c09>] do_path_lookup+0x185/0x1a6 [<ffffffff802e391a>] do_filp_open+0x108/0x8ee [<ffffffff802d6345>] do_sys_open+0x5b/0xe2 [<ffffffff802d63ff>] sys_open+0x20/0x22 [<ffffffff80209185>] init_post+0x3a/0x18d [<ffffffff80a046c1>] kernel_init+0x181/0x18c [<ffffffff8020ce8a>] child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff irq event stamp: 228127 hardirqs last enabled at (228127): [<ffffffff802aaaa8>] free_hot_cold_page+0x1ae/0x26b hardirqs last disabled at (228126): [<ffffffff802aab2b>] free_hot_cold_page+0x231/0x26b softirqs last enabled at (227688): [<ffffffff8024a7d1>] __do_softirq+0x189/0x198 softirqs last disabled at (227683): [<ffffffff8020cf8c>] call_softirq+0x1c/0x28 other info that might help us debug this: 2 locks held by kswapd1/426: #0: (shrinker_rwsem){++++..}, at: [<ffffffff802b1223>] shrink_slab+0x3d/0x159 #1: (iprune_mutex){+.+.-.}, at: [<ffffffff802eb18f>] shrink_icache_memory+0x50/0x246 stack backtrace: Pid: 426, comm: kswapd1 Not tainted 2.6.30-kvm4-dirty #5 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80268f0e>] print_usage_bug+0x1bc/0x1cd [<ffffffff802168ae>] ?
