2009-01-02 15:58:45 Chris Osgood description Running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Desktop 64-bit with all current updates. Kernel is 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux. System is Abit IP35-Pro motherboard, Q9550 CPU, 8 GB RAM, 4 Western Digital WD6401AALS-00L3B2 drives (640 GB, SATA). MemTest and drive tests returns no errors. Using a RAID5 array across the 4 drives with XFS as the file system. It seems when the system gets under heavy I/O load on the RAID array it will eventually freeze (requiring a hard reboot). The errors are inconsistent in how long they take to show up and the specific applications causing the I/O load don't seem to matter but the error always shows up eventually. It has already happened dozens of times after I start a load on the machine. Examples of scenarios where the bug has appeared: * Running Bonnie++ benchmarks. I have seen this kill the system within 30 seconds. Other times it causes no problems. * Running a large SQlite import while simultaneously tar/gzip'ing a large directory structure. * Running a large MySql import while tar/gzip'ing a large directory structure. * Multiple tar/gzip processes running at the same time. The specific process that gets the "CPU: soft lockup" error varies. I have seen it lockup in kswapd, pdflush, gzip, sqlite3, bonnie++ (see attached logs). The error appears to be related to XFS because all the stack traces have XFS calls in them. I have attached some of my stack traces. They repeat many times and I have only included the first distinct events before my system crashed. Running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Desktop 64-bit with all current updates.
