Subject: task blocked on page_fault and epoll_wait for more than 120 seconds

Hi,

I have a AIO-based webcache on an ISP.

When traffic peaks on traffic higher 100Mbps with 14.000 packets per
second, I started getting these on dmesg:

Even on epoll_wait I started being blocked:

My uname -a is:


Linux cached 2.6.35.13 #2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 16 18:11:04 BRST 2012
x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3440 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Is there any more info I can provide to help track down this issue?

Thanks,

- Robert
