I'm using crash on live system when the hang happens, so I got the page
address from "bt -f"

 #6 [ffff880212343b40] wait_on_page_bit at ffffffff8119009e
    ffff880212343b48: ffffea0002c23600 000000000000000d 
    ffff880212343b58: 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 
    ffff880212343b68: ffff880213251480 ffffffff810cd000 
    ffff880212343b78: ffff88021ff27218 ffff88021ff27218 
    ffff880212343b88: 00000000c1b4a75a ffff880212343c68 
    ffff880212343b98: ffffffff811901bf

The call is "wait_on_page_bit(page, PG_writeback);" and PG_writeback is
13 of type enum, which is 0xd in hex. So ffffea0002c23600 might be the
page address. (Confirmed by following the page to the correct inode)

So page->index:
 crash> page ffffea0002c23600 | grep index
      index = 2441406,

page->flags:
 crash> page ffffea0002c23600 | grep flags
   flags = 9007197107267616,
 crash> eval 9007197107267616
 hexadecimal: 1fffff80002820  
     decimal: 9007197107267616  
       octal: 377777760000024040
      binary: 0000000000011111111111111111111110000000000000000010100000100000

page->private:
 crash> page ffffea0002c23600 | grep private
     private = 18446612141237651696, 
 crash> eval 18446612141237651696
 hexadecimal: ffff880213e0c8f0

If you need anything else please let me know.

And just a follow-up on the testing with different kernel configs, I can
still reproduce the hang easily with OpenSuSE based kernel, and I still
have trouble booting the kernel compiled with Ted's config file... Maybe
it's missing some modules, but there're so many of them, I trend to give
up :)

Thanks,
Eryu
