LTP writev tests seems to lockup the machine. reiserfs issue ?

...


BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#2!

This is likely to be a reiserfs interaction with the pagecache write
deadlock fixes. Chris Mason just now identified a couple of issues
and is going to work on a fix.



No. seems to be generic issue .. (happens with ext3 also) :(

I think I may have missed a fix for ext3 ordered and journalled too
(I've just sent a patch to Andrew privately).

Sorry. Can you try with ext2? Alternatively, try with ext3 or reiserfs
and change the line in mm/filemap.c:generic_file_buffered_write from

		status = a_ops->commit_write(file, page, offset, offset+copied);
to
		status = a_ops->commit_write(file, page, offset, offset+bytes);

and see if that solves your problem (that will result in rubbish being
temporarily visible, but there is a similar problem upstream anyway, so it
shouldn't cause other failures in your test).

Thanks,
Nick
