The patch titled Subject: fs/buffer.c: add debug print for __getblk_gfp() stall problem has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is info-task-hung-in-generic_file_write_iter.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/info-task-hung-in-generic_file_write_iter.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/info-task-hung-in-generic_file_write_iter.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/buffer.c: add debug print for __getblk_gfp() stall problem Among syzbot's unresolved hung task reports, 18 out of 65 reports contain __getblk_gfp() line in the backtrace. Since there is a comment block that says that __getblk_gfp() will lock up the machine if try_to_free_buffers() attempt from grow_dev_page() is failing, let's start from checking whether syzbot is hitting that case. This change will be removed after the bug is fixed.
