Issue #2291 has been updated by Venkatesh Srinivas.


I believe

http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~vsrinivas/0001-kernel-ffs_softdep-Replace-softdep-MPLOCK-critical-s.patch

will correct the problem. Any testing highly appreciated.

Basically, softdep_disk_write_complete() was blocking, losing its lock, but leaving itself marked as the lock-holder. ACQUIRE_LOCK detected this and panic-ed. This patch switches to using lockmgr locks for softdep, which are hard locks and not lost on blocking conditions.

With a few days old master and under some I/O load I get the mentioned panic (the actual panic message is illegable, only the trace can be read) ... was unable to get a core dump (panic in ddb didn't produce a dump, only rebooted the machine). The panic seems to be easily repeatable (unfortunately this is the first time I actually saw a trace, because I had DDB_UNATTENDED switched on before + was in X, so could not see the message)

Part of the backtrace (only the function names, I managed to take pictures of the backtrace itself, attached to this report):
panic()
lwkt_remove_tdallq()
free_lock()
acquire_lock()
softdep_disk_io_initiation()
devfs_spec_strategy()
vop_strategy()
vn_strategy()
ufs_strategy()
ufs_vnoperate()
vop_strategy()
vn_strategy()
bawrite()
...
syncer_thread()
syncer_thread_start()
kthread_exit()
