--- Comment #3 from Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz> ---
Thanks. This looks like a problem in the shrinker for ext4 extent cache.
Apparently we burn too much time (the longest stall is over 2 seconds)
searching and freeing extents without giving CPU a break. Ideally we should
make the shrinker more efficient (since I don't believe it was called with so
many entries to free) but if that won't work out easily, we should at least
sprinkle some cond_resched() into the shrinker code as a band aid. I'll see
what we can do.
