http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13982 Summary: [libata] (?) causing Hardlock in 2.6.30.4 during simultaneous read & write Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.30.4 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: SCSI AssignedTo: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: wylda@xxxxxxxx Regression: No Created an attachment (id=22713) --> (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=22713) kernel config Hi. HW: Server Board Intel STL2, 2x P3 @ 1GHz, 1GB ECC RAM SW: self-compiled kernel 2.6.30.4 on Debian Lenny Symptom: PC completely stops responding (ping, ALT+F2..., Numlock, CTRL-ALT-DEL, ALT-SysRq) Traces: No Oops, nothing in syslog etc. I think it's not HW failure, because it never happened when * 2x dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=200000 | md5sum -b * 2x dd if=/dev/zero of=test-x bs=1M count=200000 such tests take a long time on this HW (51min and 85min) and checksums always OK. Tested many times. Anyway i'm usually able to invoke Hardlock in 2min. I use a script: #!/bin/bash dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=200000 | md5sum -b & dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=200000 | md5sum -b & cd /home/pik/a md5sum -c office.md5 & cd /home/pik/b md5sum -c office.md5 & So i run this stress script _and_ begin FTP write to the same HDD. Usually Hardlock itself, but if it does not Hardlock in 60sec i can help it with another dd (dd if=/dev/zero of=test1 bs=1M count=200000). Also why should not be HW failure - No complains of EDAC and happens on different HW: * PATA drive IC35L040AVVA07 on ServerWorks OSB4 (MOBO's chipset aka IB6566 South Bridge) * SATA drives 2xWD5000AADS in md0 on Sil3114 * Network card: PCI-X, Intel 1Gbps 82543GC * Network card: PCI Realtek RT8139 Today when doing last test for bugreport there was a trace, but the HardLock was not 100% same (as always ping stopped working, console switching did not work, no Numlock reaction, but Alt-SysRq worked). Hope its not misleading - see attachment. Another prove(?), that this is not HW failure: * never happens with Debian's 2.6.26-17lenny1 all_generic_ide=1 gcc4.1.3 * easy to trigger with 2.6.30.4 gcc4.3.2 ...i know know different kernel version, kernel parameters and gcc, but HW error would occurred anyway. config kernel, dmesg, lspci atached. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. -- 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
