I'm still trying to get a reliable reproducer, at least exactly with what I have seen a few days ago. Shyam, could you try to reproduce it with a recent/upstream kernel? That would be great to make sure we have been seen the same issue. AFAICT, it happens in the following situation: 1 - Something is written to the filesystem 2 - log checkpoint is done for the previous write 3 - Disk failure 4 - XFS tries to writeback metadata logged in [2] When [4] happens, I can't trigger xfs_log_force messages all the time, most of time I just get an infinite loop in these messages: [12694.318109] XFS (dm-0): Failing async write on buffer block 0xffffffffffffffff. Retrying async write. Sometimes I can trigger the xfs_log_force() loop. I should have something new around tomorrow. I'm building a kernel from xfs/for-next tree, to ensure I'm using the last code, and then will try to reproduce it from there too.
