Greetings,
I am new to xfs and am running into a problem
and would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed.
After an i/o error from the block device that xfs is using,
an umount results in a message like:
[ 370.636473] XFS (sdx): Log I/O Error Detected. Shutting down filesystem
[ 370.644073] XFS (h ���h"h ���H#h ���bsg): Please umount the filesystem and rectify the problem(s)
Note the garbage on the previous line which suggests memory corruption.
About half the time I get the garbled log message. About half the time umount hangs.
And then I get this kind of error and the system is unresponsive:
Message from syslogd@debian at Apr 4 09:27:40 ...
kernel:[ 680.080022] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 22s! [umount:2849]
The problem appears to be similar to this issue:
I can reproduce the problem easily using open-iscsi to create
the block device with an iscsi initiator.
I use lio to create an iscsi target.
The problem is triggered by doing an iscsi logout which causes
the block device to return i/o errors to xfs.
Steps to reproduce the problem are below.
Using VirtualBox, I can reproduce it with two processors but not one.
I first saw this on a 3.8 kernel and most recently reproduced it with 3.14+.
Thanks,
Bob
