All, I have experienced 2 hardlocks on two separate multi-cpu servers in the past 24 hours after updating to 4.15.8. I do not know where the issue lies. One lockup occurred during a simple rsync from another box on the lan. Both boxes have exhibited strange behavior regarding the linux-raid array (all disks are fine), but I receive spurious errors like (Out of IOMMU space), Huh? If this were related to one box, then I would suspect I had a flaky disk or cable, but same errors on both boxes -- something is fishy. Both are Archlinux servers, but SuperMicro boards with either 2 or 4 quad-core Opteron processors. The Out of IOMMU space shows up in the journal as: Mar 12 19:45:20 valhalla su[869]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user root by david(uid=1000) Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: sata_nv 0000:00:05.0: PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 65536 bytes Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3: EH in SWNCQ mode,QC:qc_active 0x4 sactive 0x4 Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3: SWNCQ:qc_active 0x0 defer_bits 0x0 last_issue_tag 0x1 DHFIS 0X0 DMAFIS 0X0 SDBFIS 0X0 Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3: ATA_REG 0x40 ERR_REG 0x0 Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3: tag : dhfis dmafis sdbfis sactive Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x4 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3.00: cmd 61/00:10:00:d0:e4/0a:00:0f:00:00/40 tag 2 ncq dma 1310720 ou res 40/00:20:00:ea:e3/00:00:0f:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3.00: status: { DRDY } Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3: hard resetting link Mar 12 19:45:57 valhalla kernel: ata3: nv: skipping hardreset on occupied port Mar 12 19:45:58 valhalla kernel: ata3: SATA link up 1.5 GBPS (SSTATUS 113 SCONTROL 300) Mar 12 19:45:58 valhalla kernel: ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 Mar 12 19:45:58 valhalla kernel: ata3: EH complete Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: sata_nv 0000:00:05.1: PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 65536 bytes Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5: EH in SWNCQ mode,QC:qc_active 0x4 sactive 0x4 Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5: SWNCQ:qc_active 0x0 defer_bits 0x0 last_issue_tag 0x1 dhfis 0x0 dmafis 0x0 sdbfis 0x0 Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5: ATA_REG 0x40 ERR_REG 0x0 Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5: tag : dhfis dmafis sdbfis sactive Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x4 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5.00: cmd 61/00:10:00:c0:f8/0a:00:0f:00:00/40 tag 2 ncq dma 1310720 ou res 40/00:20:00:da:f7/00:00:0f:00:00/40 Emask 0x40 (internal error) Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5.00: status: { DRDY } Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5: hard resetting link Mar 12 19:46:09 valhalla kernel: ata5: nv: skipping hardreset on occupied port Mar 12 19:46:10 valhalla kernel: ata5: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) Mar 12 19:46:10 valhalla kernel: ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133 Mar 12 19:46:10 valhalla kernel: ata5: EH complete I'm just taking a shot in the dark here and don't know whether the basis is a mdadm issue, or something new in the latest kernel.
