Yup. Running your shapshot target out of disk space causes Bad Things To Happen. Typical problem is that metadata write IO's fail and XFS shutÑ the filesytem down in response to the corruption that the failing IO has caused. Looking at your log, i see that is exactly what XFS has done. The lockdep reports are about dm-snapshot locks and are not XFs related, so that's probably where the hang is occurring. I'm sure you could produce the same hang using ext4 instead of XFS. You should report this to the dm-devel list. The take away message: Don't let your snapshot volumes run out of space - you'll corrupt data and/or your filesystem.
