Hi

Is there anything new on this topic? I am using Ubuntu 14.04.1 and
experiencing the same problem.
- 6 HDDs
- LUKS on every HDD
- btrfs RAID6 over this 6 crypt-devices
No LVM, no nodatacow files.
Mount-options: defaults,compress-force=lzo,space_cache
With the original 3.13-kernel (3.13.0-32-generic) it is working fine.

Then I tried the following kernels from here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
linux-image-3.14.15-031415-generic_3.14.15-031415.201407311853_amd64.deb
- not even booting, kernel panic at boot.
linux-image-3.15.6-031506-generic_3.15.6-031506.201407172034_amd64.deb,
linux-image-3.15.7-031507-generic_3.15.7-031507.201407281235_amd64.deb,
and linux-image-3.16.0-031600-generic_3.16.0-031600.201408031935_amd64.deb
causing the hangs like described in this thread. When doing big IO
(unpacking a .rar-archive with multiple GB) the filesystem stops
working. Load stays very high but nothing actually happens on the
drives accoding to dstat. htop shows a D (uninterruptible sleep
(usually IO)) at many kworker-threads.
Unmounting of the btrfs-filesystem only works with -l (lazy) option.
Reboot or shutdown doesn't work because of the blocking threads. So
only a power cut works. After the reboot the last written data before
the hang is lost.

I am now back on 3.13.

Regards
