== Comment: #0 - Carsten Jacobi <jac...@de.ibm.com> - 2017-03-07 03:35:31 ==
I'm evaluating Ubuntu-Xenial on z for development purposes, the test system is 
installed in an LPAR with one FCP-LUN which is accessable by 4 pathes (all 
pathes are configured).
The system hangs regularly when I make packages with "pdebuild" using the 
pbuilder packaging suit.
The local Linux development team helped me out with a pre-analysis that I can 
post here (thanks a lot for that):

With the default settings and under a certain workload,
blk_mq seems to get into a presumed "deadlock".
Possibly this happens on CPU hot(un)plug.

After the I/O stalled, a dump was pulled manually.
The following information is from the crash dump pre-analysis.

$ zgetdump -i dump.0

Things look similarly with HWE kernel ubuntu16.04-4.8.0-34.36~16.04.1.

So both dm-mpath and sd have requests pending in their block multiqueue.
The large numbers of sd look strange and seem to be the unsigned formatting of 
the values shown for async multiplied by -1.

This work item cannot progress maybe because cpuplugd:2260 above "hangs"
in the cpu hotplug notifier chain.

The low level device driver (here zfcp) is completely idle without any
pending I/O after the lockup happened and all its paths are in good
state and could service I/O but it simply does not get any new I/O
requests from the upper layers (scsi / block). Zfcp does not implement
blk_mq so dm or scsi translate which works in general but fails with
above workload. There were no other undesired events, i.e. no path
interruptions nor any recovery in zfcp.
