http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11990 Summary: Kernel hang in spin_unlock_irq from scsi_request_fn from do_IRQ Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.28-rc3 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: SCSI AssignedTo: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: vandrove@xxxxxxxxxx Latest working kernel version: commit c8d7aa after 2.6.28-rc2 Earliest failing kernel version: commit 920da6 after 2.6.28-rc2 Distribution: Debian Hardware Environment: sata_sil24, amd64, 2cpu Software Environment: 64bit kernel, 32bit userspace, preemptible kernel Problem Description: When I/O is under stress, from time to time CPU1 hangs, most probably due to endless stream of interrupts. Backtrace printed either by kernel's softlockup detection or alt-sysrq-p is below (written down; I/O is dead when this happens). _spin_unlock_irq + 0x30 (after sti) scsi_request_fn + 0x1b9 (after spin_unlock_irq(shost->host_lock) at not_ready:) blk_invoke_request_fn __blk_runqueue scsi_run_queue scsi_next_command scsi_end_request scsi_io_completion scsi_finish_command scsi_softirq_done blk_done_softirq __do_softirq call_softirq do_softirq irqexit do_IRQ ret_from_intr <EOI> native_safe_halt trace_hardirqs_on default_idle c1e_idle cpu_idle start_secondary Steps to reproduce: It seems to occur under heavy I/O (updatedb, dumping core from ~3GB app), but I was not able to trigger it reliably - most reliable is hard resetting box, then it occurs in ~80% cases when replaying journals on disks connected to sata_sil24 (through PMP, but problem does not seem to occur on 2.6.28-rc2 with Jens's PMP patches). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
