Subject: Re: [PATCH] ceph: Update the pages in fscache in writepages() path
Yan and Sage,
I've ran into this issue again on my test cluster. The client hangs
all requests for a particular inode, I did a dump cache to see what's
going... but I don't understand to enough to be able to read this line
well enough.
Can you guys help me read this, so I can further track down and
hopefully fix this issue.
