Still not a very good data point, but I ran a heavy swap load for an hour or so without reproducing this. But, it happened again after I enabled transparent huge pages. I managed to get a sysrq-t dump out of it: http://sr71.net/~dave/ibm/2.6.38-rc2-hang-0.txt khugepaged is one of the three running tasks. Note, I set both its sleep timeouts to zero to stress it out a bit.
sysrq+l? sysrq+t doesn't provide interesting info for running tasks.
I'll keep trying to reproduce without THP.
BTW, do you have prove locking enabled? With recent git I get a deadlock inside _raw_spin_unlock_irq with prove locking enabled and it goes away when I disable it. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
