Unfortunately, in the environment we have, the latest we can run is 2.6.32.xx (IB drivers, filesystem modules, etc.), so even if I installed it, I wouldn't be able to use NFS). I can verify that I added the patch from that commit into 2.6.32.24-generic and the problem disappeared. When we booted ba

I'm sorry my comment sounded snarky--this caught me on an (unrelated) bad day. I ran 2.6.32.27-generic, and the problem occurred almost immediately. This problem appears to be in nfs_do_fsync(), not nfs_release_page(). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

I'm not certain it's a duplicate of #561210, but I'm not certain it isn't either. This one starts from within nfs_wb_all() and the other hang starts in nfs_wb_page(). At any rate, I see this problem in 10.04 with both Ubuntu's 2.6.32-24.39 and with the stock kernel.org 2.6.32.18. -- Transfering l
