Description sean fulton 2011-07-09 15:50:25 UTC

I have been using OpenVZ kernels so I thought it was an issue with OpenVZ, but after seeing several threads like this:

http://archimedeseureka.blogspot.com/2011/04/xen-guest-io-issue-task-blocked-for.html
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4515
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605444

I realize this is probably further upstream. I have been able to reproduce this issue for more than a year on a variety of hardware, both in single-drive and raid1 (software raid) platforms with SATA drives.  

What happens is during an intense I/O operation, server will lock up, blocking I/O to the disk. Server load will climb (I got over 100 on an 8-core machine) until everything stops. Killing the I/O process will slowly restore the machine to normal.

The most recent activity was duplicating a large database in one of my OpenVZ virtual servers like this:

mysqldump largedb | mysql newdb

Previously, I have done it by executing:

zcat largedb.sql.gz | mysql largedb

What is strange is that through the various OpenVZ kernel release cycles, the problems seems be in one kernel version, go away in a new release, then re-appear in a subsequent release.

Most recently I've found it in the following OpenVZ kernels:

vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5.028stab089.1
vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.028stab091.1
vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab088.1

and two kernels based on the 194 branch of the RHEL5 kernel.

I just downgraded to
vmlinux-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.028stab068.9

And everything is working fine, the system load is up to 4 on an 8-core machine while trying the operation above.

As I said, I think this may be a RedHat issue based on some of the bugs I've seen reported. Other folks reported that the issue was fixed by upgrading the firmware on their HP drive controllers, so the tickets were closed, but I'm not using HP hardware or any RAID HW controllers, and yet I am having similar issues, so I think it may be kernel related.

Here is the latest set of errors:
