xfs task blocked for more than 120 seconds

Hi!

Following the LWN coverage of LCA talk on XFS, I decided to give XFS a
try again. So I decided to try XFS on my backup partition.

My setup is as follows:

* The relevant disk, containing both the ext4 partition
  (/media/backup) and the xfs partition (/media/xfstest) are on the
  same 2 TB disk, which is a Western Digital Caviar Green SATA3 drive
  (SMART reports the device model to be WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0). The
  spindle speed of the model is reported to be "closer to 5400 than
  7200 rpm".

* The ext4 partition is roughly 1 TB in size and the xfs partition
  roughly 800 GB

* I'm using LVM; the logical volumes are /dev/rootvg/backup and
  /dev/rootvg/xfstest

* These LVs are both LUKS (dm-crypt) partitions, encrypted with
  cbc-essiv:sha256

* The computer is a Core i7 2600 3.4 GHz with 4 cores and HT
  (therefore shows as 8 cores) with 8 GiB main memory. AES-NI
  instructions are supported and disk crypto generally (with ext4)
  works at transparent speeds.

* I'm running Debian unstable amd64 with vanilla (non-Debian) 3.2.2
  kernel

* I believe both the disk and the main memory are in good health;
  particularly with ext4 there hasn't been any problems

* The backup data is generated by BackupPC. It generally consists of a
  large pool of files named by sha-1 hashes (~105 GB of files), plus
  lots of trees of hardlinks to these in a structure not unlike
  typical home directories and / and /usr trees. I *think* the hard
  links may be a red herring and I suspect the problem has something
  to do with xfs--dm-crypt interaction, but I'm not sure.

So, to copy the contents of the backup partition -- BackupPC data --
to the XFS drive, I did the following (the tar line is from shell
history, the lines before it are from my memory and might be slightly
wrong):

# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/rootvg/xfstest
# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/rootvg/xfstest rootvg-xfstest_crypt
# mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/rootvg-xfstest_crypt
# mount /dev/mapper/rootvg-xfstest_crypt /media/xfstest
# cd /media/backup
# tar cf - backuppc/ | (cd ../xfstest && tar xf -)

During this operation, I got the following two warning messages in
dmesg:
