Hello List, on some of our heavy loaded servers using xfs we're seeing a deadlock where reading/writing to the xfs filesystem suddenly stops working. Here you can find sysrq w triggered log messages
Just curious, is this the same system that also shows the freezes reported to the scsi list? If I/Os don't get completed by lower layers I can see how we get everything in XFS waiting on the log rese

That points a bit more towards XFS, although we've seen storage setups create issues depending on the exact workload. The prime culprit for used to be the md software RAID driver, though. Oops, that'

Hi, Some more informations: 1.) It's running with 2.6.32 and 2.6.38 2.) I can also write to another ext2 part on the same disk array(aacraid driver) while xfs stucks - so i think it must be an xfs pr

This means you are running your heavy load with lockdep enabled. I can't see how it directly causes your issues, but it will slow anything down to almost a grinding halt on systems with more than say

Hi, at least i'm now able to reproduce the issue. I hope this will help to investigate the issue and hopefully you can reproduce it as well. I'm using vanilla 3.0.4 kernel + xfs as root filesystem an
If it is a log space accounting issue, then the output of 'xfs_info <mtpt>' is really necessary to set the filesystem up the same way (e.g. same log size, number of AGs, etc) so that it behaves the s
