Hello,

Reporting this on behalf of ric.  He was running the following fs_mark command

./fs_mark -d /mnt/test -s 20480 -D 64 -t 8 -F

Seems it hung and wasn't making any progress.  He managed to get some sysrq-t,
which is at http://people.redhat.com/jwhiter/fs-mark-hang.txt towards the bottom
of the document.  He could ctrl+c and unmount the fs so its not a hard hang.
Looks like we've just locked up behind a page lock somewhere.  I have to run off
to class so I can't look into it too deeply so throwing this out there hoping
somebody else figures it out :).  Thanks,
Which kernel was this?

Its 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 and its kernel-unstable since yesterday I think he
said, its just shy whatever patches you've pushed into git recently, it has
yan's backref work plus a few other fixes.  Thanks,


Well, the trace is strange because it looks like everyone is waiting on
IO.  Any chance once of the procs was spinning in system time?

It actually cleaned up very nicely after I killed the fs_mark processes & unmounted the btrfs file system. Before doing that, the box was sluggish and had the feeling of a system with something that might have been spinning (but that is just an observation, not measured in any strict sense).
