Hi, I am getting a soft lockup on the NFS server on its reboot if at least one client mount is established. I am using OpenSUSE 12.3 with the nfs-rdma kernel from Anna Schumaker (git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/anna/nfs-rdma.git). The export on the server side is done with /data *(fsid=0,crossmnt,rw,mp,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure) Following command is used for mounting the NFSv4 share: mount -t nfs -o port=20049,rdma,vers=4.0,timeo=900 172.16.100.19:/ /mnt The HCA is a Mellanox MT4099 on the server and the client. The soft lockup can be reproduced by following steps: o server: Start the nfs server o client: Mount the share o client: Do a "ls" in the mounted directory o server: Stop the nfs server o server: Unload the nfs and mlx4 modules or reboot the server (I used the openibd init script from the Mellanox driver without having the Mellanox stack installed) The server reports a soft lockup BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [modprobe:6146] most times. Sometimes I get following kernel panic BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000003 IP: [<ffffffff815a5c35>] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x15/0x40 PGD 82a820067 PUD 857832067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: nfsd nfs_acl auth_rpcgss oid_registry nfnetlink_log nfnetlink bluetooth rfkill nfsv4 svcrdma dm_mod cpuid nfs fscache lockd sunrpc af_packet 8021q garp stp llc rdma_ucm ib_ucm rdma_cm iw_cm ib_ipoib ib_cm ib_uverbs ib_umad mlx4_en mlx4_ib(-) ib_sa ib_mad ib_core ib_addr sr_mod cdrom usb_storage joydev mlx4_core usbhid x86_pkg_temp_thermal coretemp kvm_intel kvm ghash_clmulni_intel aesni_intel ablk_helper cryptd iTCO_wdt lrw igb gf128mul iTCO_vendor_support ehci_pci glue_helper pcspkr i2c_algo_bit isci ehci_hcd aes_x86_64 ptp libsas ioatdma lpc_ich microcode sb_edac sg pps_core usbcore ipmi_si tpm_tis edac_core scsi_transport_sas i2c_i801 mfd_core dca usb_common tpm ipmi_msghandler wmi acpi_cpufreq button edd autofs4 xfs libcrc32c crc32c_intel processor thermal_sys scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_hp_sw scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_alua scsi_dh [last unloaded: oid_registry] CPU: 0 PID: 6603 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 3.15.0-rc2-anna-nfs-rdma+ #3 Hardware name: Supermicro B9DRG-E/B9DRG-E, BIOS 3.0 09/04/2013 task: ffff88105b8c6050 ti: ffff88105d814000 task.ti: ffff88105d814000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff815a5c35>] [<ffffffff815a5c35>] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x15/0x40 RSP: 0018:ffff88105d815d18 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: 0000000000010000 RBX: ffffffffffffffff RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 000000000000000b RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000003 RBP: ffff88105d815d18 R08: ffff88087c611f38 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88087c3c9800 R13: ffff88107b82ab00 R14: 0000000000000003 R15: 0000000000000007 FS: 00007fef64612700(0000) GS:ffff88087fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000003 CR3: 000000087c2c7000 CR4: 00000000000407f0 Stack: ffff88105d815d58 ffffffffa05199f0 ffff88105d815d88 ffff88087c3c9800 ffff88087c3c9400 ffff88107b82ab00 ffff88087c3c9660 ffff88087c3c95c8 ffff88105d815d78 ffffffffa0421ce9 ffff88087c3c9400 ffff88107b82aac0 Call Trace: [<ffffffffa05199f0>] svc_xprt_enqueue+0x50/0x220 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa0421ce9>] rdma_cma_handler+0x69/0x180 [svcrdma] [<ffffffffa039d086>] cma_remove_one+0x1f6/0x220 [rdma_cm] [<ffffffffa01dca86>] ib_unregister_device+0x46/0x120 [ib_core] [<ffffffffa032ddc9>] mlx4_ib_remove+0x29/0x260 [mlx4_ib] [<ffffffffa02fb9d0>] mlx4_remove_device+0xa0/0xc0 [mlx4_core] [<ffffffffa02fba2b>] mlx4_unregister_interface+0x3b/0xa0 [mlx4_core] [<ffffffffa033f4cc>] mlx4_ib_cleanup+0x10/0x23 [mlx4_ib] [<ffffffff810bd6b2>] SyS_delete_module+0x152/0x220 [<ffffffff811496e4>] ? vm_munmap+0x54/0x70 [<ffffffff815adca6>] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f Code: 5d c3 0f b7 17 66 39 ca 74 f6 f3 90 0f b7 17 66 39 d1 75 f6 5d c3 55 65 81 04 25 20 b9 00 00 00 02 00 00 48 89 e5 b8 00 00 01 00 <f0> 0f c1 07 89 c2 c1 ea 10 66 39 c2 75 04 5d c3 f3 90 0f b7 07 RIP [<ffffffff815a5c35>] _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x15/0x40 RSP <ffff88105d815d18> CR2: 0000000000000003 ---[ end trace 18e02ff413ac4b9b ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Kernel Offset: 0x0 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffff9fffffff) ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Kind regards, Klemens -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
