Just had another machine get into this state. This time I thought to at least do alt-sysrq-w. The result is a big pile of backtraces but it looks like basically every NFS operation is hung up. I'm not sure how useful it will be, but I tried to categorize the various backtraces. Most of them are like the following, going through nfs_file_fsync: tcsh D 0 9511 1 0x80000006 Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x253/0x850 schedule+0x28/0x80 io_schedule+0x12/0x40 wait_on_page_bit_common+0x11a/0x270 ? file_check_and_advance_wb_err+0xc0/0xc0 __filemap_fdatawait_range+0xe2/0x130 ? __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0xc8/0xf0 filemap_write_and_wait_range+0x45/0x80 nfs_file_fsync+0x44/0x1e0 [nfs] filp_close+0x31/0x60 put_files_struct+0x6c/0xc0 do_exit+0x2b4/0xb30 ? __fput+0x151/0x220 do_group_exit+0x3a/0xa0 get_signal+0x276/0x590 do_signal+0x36/0x610 ? do_sys_open+0x128/0x210 exit_to_usermode_loop+0x71/0xe0 do_syscall_64+0x14d/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f4760d46ca2 Code: Bad RIP value.
