Subject: Overwriting w/ discard-capable drive causes soft-lockup in ext4
journal code, 2.6.28.8
The issue I'm seeing is caused by running this repeatedly on an ext4
fs (2.6.28.8 kernel) w/ discards enabled (a ram-based MTD device
contains the fs):
while `true`
do i=0
while [ $i -lt 100 ]
do dd of=foo"$i" if=/dev/zero bs=1024k oflag=direct &
let i=$i+1
done
wait
done
(Note: the loop is intended to fill-up the fs w/ 100 dd threads...
successive re-runs of the loop will rewrite the same files from
scratch.)
... It causes "soft-lockup" issues on successive iterations,
immediately as the DD's are launched, as previous foo files get their
blocks discarded.
There are two backtraces (stuck at either do_get_write_access or
unlock_buffer) that are generated periodically (for different dd
threads), with the system unresponsive. I don't think the "barrier
based sync failed" message is significant, as I've seen this happen
w/o that message:

(then "cd /mnt" and run the "dd" loop at the top.)
Note that if the "foo" files are rm'd before launching the DD to
overwrite them, the problem does not reproduce.
FAT file systems, which also support discards, didn't repeat this behavior.
I've also seen successive iterations act as if the disk is full...
i.e. overwriting the file should make the disk space free that the
file was occupying, but sometimes it acts as though it hasn't deleted
the file's current blocks before starting the write and gives up as if
the disk is full.
