3.1-rc4: spectacular kernel errors / filesystem crash

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Over the past 24-48 hours I was running some CPU-intenstive jobs and there was heavy I/O on the RAID (9750-24i4e + a RAID6)..

I believe most of the problem started when I included many kernel options as modules (before I only compiled in [*] the drivers I used), there appears to have something to gone awry in the kernel and then afterwards, disks started going in and out, XFS shut down, etcera.

I'm opening a case with LSI to see what happened with the 3ware card; however, after a power cycle, everything came back OK (the drives and HW) is physically OK, it is rebuilding onto those two drives with CFG-OP-FAIL but other than that, everything 'seems' OK, still need to do an fsck.

Something went wrong in the kernel and caused a cascading effect of errors, this occurred (I believe) when I started to run a lot of encoding jobs; however, I was doing a lot of data transfer for the past 24-48 hours on the RAID array, the system (separate SSD/EXT4) remained unaffected but other weird stuff happened as well..

I still see these in the logs as well after the reboot (not often; but e.g., the RAID controller is rebuilding from the two drives with CFG-OPT-FAIL (the physical drives are 100% healthy):

[ 1062.925904] 3w-sas 0000:83:00.0: vpd r/w failed.  This is likely a firmware bug on this device.  Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.

So, my plan:

1. Report this error to LKML+XFS mailing lists.
2. Open case with LSI support.
3. Recompile the kernel how I used for many years [only compile in options
   that you need [*] and do not compile drivers as modules]
4. Reboot Linux systems and see if this recurs again under the same
   workload, after the RAID is done rebuilding.

So these errors are quite long, will upload to HTTP and paste the relevant bits below.

Summary (what seems to have occurred, have not done a full analysis yet)

1. 3ware card freaked out due to kernel/RCU/APIC(?) errors

2. Then, the time source went unstable (this happens with weird kernel bugs
   on many different hosts, I have seen this over time).

3. Then, on the 3ward carde, drives started leaving and being re-inserted
   by themsevles, XFS went off-line to protect the filesystem due to the
   3ware issues

3ware/RAID-- Interesting errors:

I've never seen this before on a 3ware RAID controller, at least from what
I can remember and I've been using 3ware cards for many years..

p2 CFG-OP-FAIL - 2.73 TB SATA 2 - Hitachi HDS723030AL p3 CFG-OP-FAIL - 2.73 TB SATA 3 - Hitachi HDS723030AL

Kernel/ERRORS:

FWIW it all seem to start during an encoding job around 21:00:

Currently...

After all of this happened, I stopped all I/O on the system/all processes, etc
I shutdown the host, removed the power, powered it back up, now the drives
that showed CFG-OP-FAIL before now show as REBUILDING, I am waiting for them
to rebuild before doing anything else.

Justin.
