Created attachment 828434 [details] build.log extract containing the multiple kernel stack traces that happen Description of problem: The libguestfs test suite runs mdadm in various combinations. Currently the mdadm --stop test causes a soft lockup and eventual crash. See the very long stack trace which I'll attach to this bug. This has just started happening in the Rawhide kernel, in the last week. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 3.13.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc21 mdadm-3.3-4.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: Tested twice, reproduced the bug both times. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See the build log for the exact commands. Additional information: Test source: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/tests/md/test-mdadm.sh
Upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65721
Patch proposed, which I have tested and it fixes the problem. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65721#c4
(In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #2) > Patch proposed, which I have tested and it fixes the problem. > > https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65721#c4 Already in rawhide with 3.13-rc2. Thanks much for reporting and following up with upstream, Richard. (Worth noting the same fix is needed in 3.12 stable, so I'll add it there until upstream stable picks it up.)
