How are you capturing these messages, by the way?  Serial console?

Sorry this was an incomplete copy and paste by me.

Here is the complete output:
[1578544.839610] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#7 stuck for 22s! [mysqld:29281]
[1578544.893450] Modules linked in: nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4

OK, thanks, this is a known bug, where when ext4 is under heavy memory
pressure, we can end up stalling in reclaim.  This message indicates
that the system got stalled for 22 seconds, which is not good, since
it impacts the interactivity of your system, and increases the
long-tail latency of requests to servers running on your system, but
it doesn't cause any data loss or will cause any of your processes to
crash or otherwise stop functioning (except for temporarily).

It's something that we are working on, and there are patches which
Zheng Liu submitted that still need a bit of polishing, but I hope to
have it addressed soon.

Thanks for your feedback. Will those patches go to stable? Any link to
those patches?

I'm not sure they will go to Stable when they are ready, because the
patches are somewhat complex and so they may not apply cleanly to much
older kernels.

The patches under discussion (some have been applied, others hae been
waiting for some requested changes) can be found here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377720
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377721
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377722
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377723
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377724
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377725
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377727

hui that's a lot. Are they ALL needed to fix this?
   Yes, all of them are needed.

How can i get notified when they're ready / polished?

Stefan

No workaround possible?
   I don't know about any.

What will Redhat do with their 3.10 RHEL 7 kernel?
   Well, I cannot speak for RH guys but for SLES if there's a customer
request, we'll just go and backport the patches...
