I don't see a deadlock here. What's holding the AGF lock and preventing progress from being made? i.e. we have: process 1 2 3 fsync() ilock A dqlock P agf lock <blocks> xfs_end_io ilock A <blocks> write() ilock B dqlock P <blocks> So, basically, everyhting is waiting for the AGF lock, which is held by something other than these three threads. When the AGF lock is relesaed, the fsync() will make progress, then release both dqlock P and ilock A and the other two threads will make progress again. > It's 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 kernel, met about 10-20 times a week > on several hundred of servers. That's not a mainline kernel and so we can't really help diagnose this much further. You should really report it to your distro support channels so they can help you with further diagnosis and fixes... Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
