On a older 3.6-rc9 opensuse kernel I had the following deadlock with a "find" running on a USB hard disk. I first thought it was some IO request getting stuck from another process (USB can be flakey), but after looking through sysrq-t there is nothing else active in XFS. So looks like some kind of XFS race or deadlock? -Andi [233265.161582] find D ffff88042a8e4820 0 17774 1 0x00000004 [233265.161586] ffff880212ad36c8 0000000000000086 0000000000000000 ffff880212ad3fd8 [233265.161590] ffff880212ad3fd8 000000000000a000 ffff88042d9596c0 ffff88042a8e4440 [233265.161593] 00000000000128c0 ffff88042a192a00 ffff88042a192a00 0000000000000000 [233265.161596] Call Trace: [233265.161606] [<ffffffff81531eec>] ? __schedule+0x3fc/0x8c0 [233265.161610] [<ffffffff8110a1c0>] ? get_page_from_freelist+0x170/0x310 [233265.161628] [<ffffffffa06207e3>] ? _xfs_buf_find+0xe3/0x240 [xfs] [233265.161632] [<ffffffff81532469>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [233265.161635] [<ffffffff815308c5>] schedule_timeout+0x1d5/0x230 [233265.161638] [<ffffffff8110a9d5>] ? __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xe5/0x7e0 [233265.161650] [<ffffffffa06207e3>] ? _xfs_buf_find+0xe3/0x240 [xfs] [233265.161654] [<ffffffff815314c1>] __down+0x6a/0x97 [233265.161657] [<ffffffff81065ee1>] down+0x41/0x50 [233265.161669] [<ffffffffa0620634>] xfs_buf_lock+0x44/0x110 [xfs] [233265.161680] [<ffffffffa06207e3>] _xfs_buf_find+0xe3/0x240 [xfs] [233265.161692] [<ffffffffa0620ba1>] xfs_buf_get_map+0x171/0x1b0 [xfs] [233265.161703] [<ffffffffa06218fd>] xfs_buf_read_map+0x2d/0x110 [xfs] [233265.161739] [<ffffffffa06550c9>] ? xfs_dabuf_map.isra.2+0x239/0x250 [xfs] [233265.161759] [<ffffffffa067c3f5>] xfs_trans_read_buf_map+0x265/0x480 [xfs] [233265.161776] [<ffffffffa0656486>] xfs_da_read_buf+0xc6/0x1f0 [xfs] [233265.161787] [<ffffffffa06202de>] ? xfs_buf_rele+0x4e/0x130 [xfs] [233265.161799] [<ffffffffa062096d>] ? xfs_buf_unlock+0x2d/0xa0 [xfs] [233265.161814] [<ffffffffa0657893>] xfs_da_node_lookup_int+0xa3/0x2c0 [xfs] [233265.161830] [<ffffffffa0660161>] xfs_dir2_node_lookup+0x51/0x170 [xfs] [233265.161845] [<ffffffffa0658b86>] ? xfs_dir2_isleaf+0x26/0x60 [xfs] [233265.161860] [<ffffffffa065911d>] xfs_dir_lookup+0x15d/0x170 [xfs] [233265.161874] [<ffffffffa063488f>] xfs_lookup+0xcf/0x130 [xfs] [233265.161887] [<ffffffffa062b9d1>] xfs_vn_lookup+0x51/0x90 [xfs] [233265.161891] [<ffffffff81159a8b>] ? lookup_dcache+0xab/0xd0 [233265.161894] [<ffffffff8115952d>] lookup_real+0x1d/0x60 [233265.161898] [<ffffffff81159ae8>] __lookup_hash+0x38/0x50 [233265.161901] [<ffffffff8115a7ee>] lookup_slow+0x4e/0xc0 [233265.161904] [<ffffffff8115c7ef>] path_lookupat+0x73f/0x790 [233265.161908] [<ffffffff8115c871>] do_path_lookup+0x31/0xc0 [233265.161911] [<ffffffff8115eb69>] user_path_at_empty+0x59/0xa0 [233265.161915] [<ffffffff8116c879>] ? mntput_no_expire+0x49/0x160 [233265.161918] [<ffffffff811535d7>] ? cp_new_stat+0x107/0x120 [233265.161921] [<ffffffff8115ebc1>] user_path_at+0x11/0x20 [233265.161924] [<ffffffff811537ba>] vfs_fstatat+0x3a/0x70 [233265.161927] [<ffffffff811539ea>] sys_newfstatat+0x1a/0x40 [233265.161930] [<ffffffff8153b712>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
