Just saw one when testing some new code with CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG
enabled. The act of running 'echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger' seems to
have got the machine unstuck, so I'm not sure if the traces are
completely representative of the livelock state. however, here are
the fs_mark processes:

I just went to grab the CAL counters, and found the system in
another livelock.  This time I managed to start the sysrq-trigger
dump while the livelock was in progress - I basŃ–cally got one shot
at a command before everything stopped responding. Now I'm waiting
for the livelock to pass.... 5min.... the fs_mark workload
has stopped (ctrl-c finally responded), still livelocked....
10min.... 15min.... 20min.... OK, back now.

Interesting - all the fs_mark processes are in D state waiting on IO
completion processing. And the only running processes are the
kworker threads, which are all processing either vmstat updates
(3 CPUs):

It looks like there is spinlock contention occurring here on the xfs
AIL lock, so I'll need to look into this further. A second set of
traces I got during the livelock also showed this:

Because I tried to ctrl-c the fs_mark workload. All those lock
traces on the stack aren't related to XFS, so I'm wondering exactly
where they have come from....

Finally, /proc/interrupts shows:

CAL:      12156      12039      12676      12478      12919    12177      12767      12460   Function call interrupts

Which shows that this wasn't an IPI storm that caused this
particular livelock.

Cheers,

Dave.
