Process freezes during IO on btrfs

[JR]

On a quite clean installation, I'm using btrfs with compression turned on.

during a build, it seemed the build process stopped.

dmesg showed

issue #1235521 looks quite similar

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.12 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

I removed the mount options "compressed" and booted into recovery mode performing an filesystem check. now my problem is gone.
I'll wait a few more 3.12 rcs, and will then try with compression re-enabled.
