Hi, I'm experiencing a deadlock situation when deleting directories placed in the realtime section. This is reproducable with kernel versions 2.6.35.7 and 2.6.36-rc8. I haven't tried final 2.6.36 yet. The same setup is working perfectly without using the realtime section. The file system has been created with mkfs.xfs -f -l logdev=/dev/sdb1 -r rtdev=/dev/sdb3,extsize=256k /dev/sdb2 and mounted with mount -t xfs -o logdev=/dev/sdb1,rtdev=/dev/sdb3,sunit=512,swidth=2048 \ /dev/sdb2 /there This is where rm blocks: SysRq : Show Blocked State task PC stack pid father rm D 0000000000000005 0 1705 1658 0x00000080 ffff88018c40d858 0000000000000086 ffff880100000000 ffff88018c40c010 ffff88018c40dfd8 00000000000148c0 ffff88018b1c2e20 ffff88018b1c31d8 ffff88018b1c31d0 00000000000148c0 00000000000148c0 ffff88018c40dfd8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81437739>] rwsem_down_failed_common+0xd3/0x105 [<ffffffff8143777e>] rwsem_down_write_failed+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff81202ad3>] call_rwsem_down_write_failed+0x13/0x20 [<ffffffff81436e3d>] ? down_write+0x40/0x44 [<ffffffffa033be9b>] xfs_ilock+0x4a/0x9a [xfs] [<ffffffffa033c413>] xfs_iget+0x34c/0x5cd [xfs] [<ffffffffa0351fa9>] xfs_trans_iget+0x1b/0x56 [xfs] [<ffffffffa0313035>] xfs_rtfree_extent+0x37/0xdc [xfs] [<ffffffffa033fce2>] ? xfs_iext_remove+0xc0/0xd2 [xfs] [<ffffffffa0324ffe>] ? xfs_bmap_del_extent+0x2e8/0x93d [xfs] [<ffffffffa0324e87>] xfs_bmap_del_extent+0x171/0x93d [xfs] [<ffffffffa03506eb>] ? xfs_trans_commit_iclog+0x2ba/0x2d3 [xfs] [<ffffffffa0325dc3>] xfs_bunmapi+0x770/0xa28 [xfs] [<ffffffffa033e44e>] xfs_itruncate_finish+0x185/0x2b8 [xfs] [<ffffffffa0354437>] xfs_inactive+0x1c8/0x3d5 [xfs] [<ffffffffa035f38c>] xfs_fs_evict_inode+0xd5/0xdd [xfs] [<ffffffff8111282b>] evict+0x22/0x92 [<ffffffff81112c60>] iput+0x1bc/0x225 [<ffffffff8110b079>] do_unlinkat+0x103/0x156 [<ffffffff811086c5>] ? path_put+0x1d/0x22 [<ffffffff81093e2c>] ? audit_syscall_entry+0x119/0x145 [<ffffffff8110b205>] sys_unlinkat+0x24/0x26 [<ffffffff81009ac2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Thanks in advance for any feedback, Denny _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
