Will that fix be in 2.6.17?
Probably not. We have had the last 'rc' twice and I so I don't think
it is appropriate to submit the patch at this stage.
I probably will submit it for an early 2.6.17.x. and for 2.6.16.y.
What is the status of this?
I've been experiencing exactly the same get_active_stripe lockup
on a FC5 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5smp stock kernel. Curiously we have ten
similar heavily loaded
servers but only one of them experiences the problem. The problem
happens consistently after 24 hours or so
when I hammer the raid5 array over NFS, but I've never managed to
trigger it with local access. I'd also
say (anecdotally) that it only started happening since I added a bitmap
to my array.
As with the other poster, the lockup is released by increasing
stripe_cache_size.
