I'm afraid there is a possibly workqueue related deadlock under high memory pressure. It happens on dm-crypt + md raid1 configuration. I'm not yet sure whether this is caused by workqueue failing to kick rescuers under memory pressure or the shared workqueue is making an already existing problem more visible and in the process of setting up an environment to reproduce the problem. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.xfs.general/34922/focus=1044784 Thanks. -- tejun -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
