Is it possible for you to create a patch for this for 2.6.9-11 EL smp kernel?
I've tried this patch, and it DOES seem to fix this problem! Well done! Hopefully RedHat will create a kernel update ASAP. This patch has been in production for 3 weeks now without a single problem. These machines would PANIC almost daily before, mostly at night when we were running backups. Maybe this problem is mostly associated with high-end hardware, like DL380s, but I would think that RedHat would be interested in fixing such a serious problem, especially ones that affect their target hardware. Sofar, I've heard nothing to show that RedHat interested in fixing this. Will this patch be included in a future kernel? Yes, this fix looks good, and it matches the upstream fix. It will be queued subject to the usual internal review for the U3 kernel. I have a kernel built based on U2 plus 3 filesystem fixes: * readahead fixes for random >4k read performance * ext3 performance fix for very slow performance when writing large files on huge filesystems * this log_do_checkpoint fix. i686 and x86_64 kernels are available from: http://people.redhat.com/sct/.private/test-kernels/kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.sct.4/ Fix committed for inclusion in U3. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0132.html *** Bug 200434 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
