Subject: INFO: task mount:11202 blocked for more than 120 seconds

Hi,

after upgrading from 2.6.24.1 to 2.6.25-rc3, I came across[0]. This 
warning seems to be gone now. With 2.6.25-rc4 (and the fix from [1])
the box was running fine for 20 hours or so (doing its usual jobs plus 
a "make randconfig && make" loop).

After this, I noticed that /bin/sync would not exit anymore and
remains stuck in D state. Looking around I noticed that the rsync
backup jobs (rsync'ing to an xfs partition) from earlier this
morning did not exit either and hung in D state. With sync hung, the 
following messages started to appear:

[75377.756985] INFO: task sync:2697 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

The box is still up & running, although the load is increasing slightly. 
I've gathered some details here: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.25-rc4/

I've searched the archives for this error, but the only thing was
   * http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/12/44
     [BUG] 2.6.25-rc1-git1 softlockup while bootup on powerpc
     ...however, I don't get "CPU stuck" messages
   * http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/29/370
     Re: system hang on latest git
     ...but calltrace looks a lot different.

Since both mailings are not so current, I'd like to got back to -rc3 and 
try to reproduce this one.

Do you have any idea what's going on here?

Thanks,
Christian.
