Subject: Re: [PATCH] ceph: Update the pages in fscache in writepages() path
Yan,
I'll use this trick next time around. I did dump the kernel stacks for
my process. 4 threads were blocked on SYS_newfstat (and the mds
request further up the stack).
I ended up restarting MDS after a few hours of trying to track it
down. It resolved it self following that.
This machine is running a pretty recent kernel on there -- 3.12 +
merged testing ceph -- the other machines are running a slightly older
3.12-rc. I have observed the issue previously on random nodes
infrequently for months (maybe once a week or two).
Thanks again,
- Milosz
