Doesn't look like the same bug to me - I have only ever seen pdflush get 
stuck in D, not random processes.

Also, I can confirm that -rc3 I am running contains the patch referenced 
in your bugzilla link above.

[2.6.24-rc] pdflush stuck in D state

2007-11-22 Thread Tvrtko A. Ursulin

Hi all,

So as the subject says - pdflush is stuck i D state which means constant load 
average of at least one:

root   151  0.0  0.0  0 0 ?DNov20   0:33 [pdflush]

I get this behaviour on both my home and my work machine, which are 
significantly different hardware but probably almost identical core kernel 
config. Also, rc version is deliberately not specified because I've seen the 
problem at home with -rc1 and at work with -rc3. Later is also patched with 
CFS v24 but the former wasn't so that's probably irrelevant.

Some information attached below and I am happy to provide more, although due 
to lack of time can't promise I'll be able to bisect.

[2.6.24-rc] pdflush stuck in D state

2007-11-22 Thread Tvrtko A. Ursulin

Hi all,

So as the subject says - pdflush is stuck i D state which means constant load 
average of at least one:

root   151  0.0  0.0  0 0 ?DNov20   0:33 [pdflush]

I get this behaviour on both my home and my work machine, which are 
significantly different hardware but probably almost identical core kernel 
config. Also, rc version is deliberately not specified because I've seen the 
problem at home with -rc1 and at work with -rc3. Later is also patched with 
CFS v24 but the former wasn't so that's probably irrelevant.

Some information attached below and I am happy to provide more, although due

 Also, I can confirm that -rc3 I am running contains the patch referenced
