another problem with latest xfs
Is this with the 2.6.27-based ptools/cvs tree or with the 2.6.28 based
git tree? It does looks more like a VM issue than a XFS issue to me.
It's with the 2.6.27-rc8 based ptools tree. Prior to checking
in these patches:
Can't lock inodes in radix tree preload region
stop using xfs_itobp in xfs_bulkstat
free partially initialized inodes using destroy_inode
I was able to stress a system for about 4 hours before it ran out
of memory. Now I hit the deadlock within a few minutes. I need
to roll back to find which patch changed the behaviour.
Does it go away when you add the "XFS: Fix race when looking up
reclaimable inodes" I sent this morning?
I haven't had a chance to test it yet - will do that on Monday.
Also, is there a thread stuck in xfs_setfilesize() waiting on an
ilock during I/O completion?
Haven't seen one but then I haven't looked through all 1024 stuck
threads.
i.e. did the log hang because I/O completion is stuck waiting on
an ilock that is held by a thread waiting on I/O completion?
It could be. I was hoping that if I found the offending mod it
would be easier to find out what caused the problem. I pulled
out each of the changes listed above in turn and I can still hit
the problem.
