Rafael, please remove it from regression list. I haven't found kernel working
the other way. It's a bug(set of bugs) being around "forever". Many people
confirm it on various laptops/kernel versions. It's just not very noticeable.

Al Viro has the fix for this in the for-next branch of his vfs-2.6 git
tree, as commit ID 72a43d63: "ext3/4 with synchronous writes gets
wedged by Postfix". I pinged Al previously about pushing this as a
regression fix for 2.6.30, but never got a response. At this point we
might as well wait for it to go into the 2.6.31 merge window, and then
we can ask for it to go into the 2.6.30.y and 2.6.29.y stable trees.

It's in mainline now, actually. But yes, we need it in -stable as well.

Still testing, but so far 2.6.30-rc8(or another RC) seems to have fixed
this. I'd say to leave this open for now, there's at least one other
person testing 2.6.30-rc8 to see if it's fixed or not.

Great, thanks; sorry, I didn't realize it had been queued for mainline
submisison, and it wasn't there when I looked last week. I've closed
the bugzilla entry since it is now in mainline. Would you like to
send the patch to [email protected], or shall I?

I'm afraid my test here won't help much to answer this question.

I've seen no more crashes, but starting with 2.6.29 I'm seeing so many
'reconnect_path: npd != pd' messages and am experiencing lots of 'stale NFS
handles' that I turned off NFS yesterday evening until I have more time to look
into this.

No change since last ping. We ruled out a non-HP NIC in the DL380. HP will try to reproduce in-house.

This is apparently caused by vendor releasing two different hardware
products under the same VID/PID and just one of them needing blacklist
entry. Sigh.

Waiting for verbose lsusb output from Remi, so that we could compare it
with the output provided by the bug reporter, to see what else could be
done to distinguish the devices from each other.

CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG was on for this one.

I've noticed it's always kswapd0 that dies?

Subject: Re: [Bug #13375] Kernel crash with 2.6.29 + nfs + xfs (radix-tree)

same observation here. it's kswapd that dies.

swap space itself is hardly ever really used, since my box has 8GB and not
that much stuff is running on it.

my XFS mount opts: noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8

drive/fs config: sata => raid6 => lvm => xfs => nfs

machine is stable for the last 36 hours with nfs turned off.

Same here, 5GB ram.. I might try turning swap off and seeing what happens.

Not using NFS here.

Is the system load different with nfs off? (no clients accessing it, etc?)

Hi Jake,

Could you collect some blktrace data for the dd commands on new/old
kernels?

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 iflag=direct
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024


You need to install the blktrace tool and run these commands:

cd /dev/shm
blktrace /dev/sda # do this while dd is running
# ^C to interrupt
blkparse sda


Package: blktrace
Description: utilities for block layer IO tracing
blktrace is a block layer IO tracing mechanism which provides detailed
information about request queue operations up to user space. There are

Thanks,
Fengguang

2.6.30-rc8 still has issues, even with swapoff -a, it still died in kswapd0

Dear Fengguang,

Thanks so much for the attention you paid to this problem. I did not
want to respond until I got a chance to give the new kernel a shot to
see if the bug was still present. It appears not to be -- hdparm and dd
both register read speeds between 200 and 220 MB/s as opposed to the 70
to 80 MB/s I was getting with kernel 2.6.29. So, I guess this strange
bug has sort of resolved itself.

Best,
Jake

That's great! (if convenient I'd recommend you to try the blktrace
tool on 2.6.29, it's easy to use :)

Yep.

I've upgraded to 2.6.30 two days ago. So far, so good.

I've ran three Gentoo 'emerge world' sessions in parallel while forcing a
RAID6 resync. This should have created more I/O load than this box usually
sees.

Of course, some other combination of events might be required to cause this
kernel crash.

I've also turned NFS back on today. Still, no problems to report.

Cheers,

Mathias

Mine still crashes, so I've gone back to 2.6.28.9 for now.

Tried 2.6.30-git18 the other day, machine jammed up with the usual BUG,
though it was on radix-tree.c:464 this time.

I really should get around to putting an APC masterswitch on this
server, since it won't reboot with anything but the power
switch/reset(though the system is otherwise fine, interactivity is
perfect.. just can't kill processes)

I gave up and went back to 2.6.28.9, as you mentioned before.

Yep, I had that happening a few days ago. The box worked fine, but won't
reboot. Just hangs somewhere during unmount. I saw a kernel crash call trace
somewhere, but it went by too quickly and I couldn't get it back.

Still here on 2.6.31-rc1 but...

...this seems to be tied to the version of the Intel X drivers I have.
On another install with more recent Intel X drivers I cannot reproduce
this issue.

I guess we can mark it closed then, though I don't have the commit id
of the fix handy...
