Fixed In Version: kernel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Various race conditions that led to indefinite log reservation hangs due to xfsaild "idle" mode occurred in XFS file system. This could lead to certain tasks being unresponsive; for example, the cp utility could become unresponsive on heavy workload. This update improves the Active Item List (AIL) pushing logic in xfsaild. Also, the log reservation algorithm and interactions with xfsaild have been improved. As a result, the aforementioned problems no longer occur in this scenario.
