[Linux-cachefs] [PATCH 0/8] ceph: fscache support & upstream changes

Sun Sep 8 03:07:39 UTC 2013

David,

I ran into another issue that caused one my machines to hang on a
bunch of tasks and then hard lock. Here's the backtrace of the hang:

INFO: task kworker/1:2:4214 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

It looks like it's waiting for the the cookie's n_active to drop down
to 0 ... but it isn't. After spending a bunch of hours reading the
code, then having a some beers (it is Saturday night after all), then
looking at code again... I think that the
__fscache_check_consistency() function increments the n_active counter
but never lowers it. I think the solution to this is the bellow diff
but I'm not a 100% sure. Can you let me know if I'm on the right
track... of it's beer googles?

diff --git a/fs/fscache/cookie.c b/fs/fscache/cookie.c

Thanks,
