Subject : [regression?] hang with 2.6.37 on a BTRFS test machine Submitter : Martin Steigerwald <Martin@lichtvoll.de> Date : 2011-01-23 12:06 Message-ID : 201101231306.23069.Martin@lichtvoll.de References : http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129578445613283&w=2 This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.36. Please don't close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
Added linux-btrfs and Helmut Hullen, who seemed to experience hangs on a T23 with BTRFS as well, to Cc. Am Thursday 03 February 2011 schrieb Rafael J.

The machine seems table with 2.6.36. So I think its really an regression of 2.6.37. I am stuck with what to try next. Since trying to track it down to a specific commit appears too involved for me and its appears also quite laborious to get any value debug information out of the kernel - cause it can take days for the bug to appear -, I am inclined to either test with 2.6.37.1 once its available or just give it a go with 2.6.38-rc3 or rc4. Maybe 2.6.38-rc3/4 would be the best bet, I have seen a report on the btrfs mailing list of 2.6.38 fixing a BTRFS hang bug that appeared with 2.6.37. I am just not sure whether its related or not.

Thanks, Martin
Could bug#27132 be related?
Could #29952 be related to this bug?
Dunno. But I didn't see this bug with 2.6.38 and 2.6.38.1 so far. Please close - I do not have the access rights to do it. Raphael recommends closing as "irreproducible" in that case, cause its not really clear that it has been fixed when its irreproducible in a newer version. THanks.
Closed. Thx.
