Hi Eric, Does this problem fixed? I'm hitting a deadlock which is similar to yours: I backport bcache code from 4.4.24 to kernel 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64(CentOS7.2), It has been working fine many days (writeback mode, the caching device is a Intel DC S3700 200G, attached 5 HDD disks).
Maybe try this patch: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=2d64cbc819b13ebd503780f39552827516f4ce4a Its the only one I can think of. However, it might already be in 4.4.24. You would need to check and see if you have this or not. -- Eric Wheeler

Hello all, I have a test system that won't register. I can register either the caching dev or the cached dev fine, but as soon as I register the sencond dev, bash hangs when echoing into /sys/fs/bcache/register . I can register in either order (cache first or cached dev first) and the deadlock still presents. I've narrowed down the problem to these two call stacks: == The allocator thread is one half of the deadlock: [ 405.619895] INFO: task bcache_allocato:3494 blocked for more than 5 seconds.

I checked, this is the same lock (same memory position). This implies that the allocator waits on bch_bucket_alloc_set() which was invoked by bash through register_bcache, and register_bcache waits on the allocator's call to bch_prio_write(). Things that I've tried which don't work or make the problem worse: * Adding a mutex inside bch_bucket_alloc so that only one may proceed at a time * Holding bch_register_lock in the allocator thread before calling bch_prio_write. Does anyone else have insight here that might help solve the problem? -Eric -- Eric Wheeler -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
