Subject: Re: BUG: ext3 hang in transaction commit


Marcelo has seen something similar, kjournald got stuck and the rest of
userspace piled on top of it.

The softlockup watchdog triggered because kjournald got stuck in D state
for over 2 minutes. However Marcelo told me that it did get going
eventually...

He had a rather easy to reproduce case IIRC, I'll let him tell you more
about it :-)
