Description Gary Lindstrom 2007-04-14 23:07:45 UTC
Well, I'll open another bug report since 221729 was closed.  Maybe this is a
different problem than the last deadlocks...???

Steve, like I said in another report, your gonna hate me.  Been busy and hadn't
tried recently, but I got some time this weekend to try this again, and I can
still deadlock gfs2.  Upgraded all 3 machines in cluster to latest kernel and
updates.  Kernel is: 2.6.20-1.2944.fc6.

I am attaching 3 backtraces, one from each machine in the cluster.  I had a copy
from an ext3 to gfs2 partition running on spool7, a copy from an ocfs to the
same gfs2 partition (to a different directory structure), and ran a 'df' command
on virtual1b.  All 3 machines were deadlocked after a few minutes.  Not positive
but I think it deadlocked on spool8 first...

Sorry.... :(  If you need more info, let me know.

Comment 4 Gary Lindstrom 2007-04-14 23:12:53 UTC
Ummm... let me ammend the first comment...  I did a directory list on virtual1b
that hung, not a df command...

Comment 6 Ben Marzinski 2007-05-08 00:08:46 UTC
This looks just like bz #231910, which has a fix. However, 231910 is a RHEL bug.
I'm not sure how Steve is handling bugs with respect to the differences between
RHEL and fedora.  If he needs a fedora version on that bug for tracking
purposes, then one this will do fine. But at any rate, there is a solution to
this problem with will make it upstream shortly.

Comment 7 Robert Peterson 2007-05-08 21:53:18 UTC
Looks like this is a Fedora build issue then.  Reassigning to Chris Feist.


Comment 8 Chris Feist 2007-05-08 22:00:59 UTC
Re-assigning to Steve Whitehouse as he provides kernel patches for the fedora
kernel.

Comment 9 Steve Whitehouse 2007-05-09 08:03:02 UTC
I'll try and sort this out now that the latest upstream patches have been
accepted by Linus.

Comment 10 Steve Whitehouse 2007-05-11 11:08:33 UTC
The patches have now been sent for both FC5/6 and FC7 so I'm just waiting to
find out which version of the kernel RPM they'll appear in.


Comment 11 Steve Whitehouse 2007-05-30 08:59:52 UTC
Still waiting on FC5/6, but its in FC7 (pre-release) now and also in the current
rawhide devel kernel. Also fixed upstream.


Comment 12 Steve Whitehouse 2007-05-30 14:11:46 UTC
For FC5/6 that will be kernel 2952 which is commited but will be built shortly
