2020-06-05 17:19:54 David Woodgate description Copying a large file using cp on my Raspberry Pi 3B (not 3B+) from an externally-powered USB hard disk (Seagate Expansion 2TB) to an NFS-mounted filesystem across Ethernet causes the kernel of releases 19.10 and 20.04 to hang/freeze. This happens every time the copy is attempted, although the exact duration from the start of the copy to the hang varies from a few seconds to a couple of minutes. The kernel does not recover even after long waits (30mins+), and a power reset (pulling the plug) is required. (Although I admit I haven't tried yet simply disconnecting the USB cable of the HDD during a hang.) Likewise, messages are erratic and I suspect are only symptoms, notably watchdog BUG soft lockup messages and RCU stall messages on different CPU cores for different processes/threads. There are no hardware messages that I've seen recorded in log files (or appearing on the console) matching the incidents. Although I have had a swapfile configured on the SD card, the hang continues to happen doing the cp after "swapoff -a". I've also tried playing with taskset affinities and snappiness to no obvious effect - the hangs still keep happening. Copying from the external HDD to the SD card is successful, as is copying from the SD card to the NFS. Raspbian 4.19.0-8 (armmp-lpae) does not have this problem; it successfully copies the file from HDD to NFS across Ethernet without stalling.

There are no hardware messages that I've seen recorded in log files (or appearing on the console) matching the incidents. When a hang happen, network connectivity is lost - ssh sessions fail, and the file copy stops (even when the cp is run on the console). Pings to the system from other hosts on the same Ethernet LAN (and switch) fail with destination host unreachable.
