hi, hot news from the front, recent tests on the pld-linux.org vendor kernel show that the random task blocking in 2.6.35.7 during medium/heavy load (~4..25) is related to the grsecurity patch. we'll forward problem report to the grsec maintainer asap... --
So, to make things clear, this is not a mainline kernel issue, is it? Rafael --
i thought that was a grsecurity issue but now i have a testcase that casues task blocking on my machine with the vanilla 2.6.35.7 kernel: steps to repoduce: on console 1: - run 'make -j32' in kernel tree and wait several second for make forks and medium system load (~15). on console 2: - run 'sync' from root account to bump load more. on console 3: - observe 'tail -f /var/log/kernel' for blocking issues. [ 360.517917] INFO: task sync:6712 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [ 360.517920] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

So, how is this related to the original report? Rafael --
it's easier to reproduce on single test machine (no need to playing with parallel make and nfs).
in fact this isn't a 2.6.35.5->.7 regression but 2.6.34->2.6.35. the git-bisect found
first commit that introduces the 'sync' task blocking problem here:
commit 7c8a3554c683f512dbcee26faedb42e4c05f12fa
Author: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
Date: Tue May 18 14:29:29 2010 +0200
writeback: ensure that WB_SYNC_NONE writeback with sb pinned is sync
Even if the writeout itself isn't a data integrity operation, we need
to ensure that the caller doesn't drop the sb umount sem before we
have actually done the writeback.
This is a fixup for commit e913fc82.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
i'll try to revert this patch from the 2.6.35.7 and test make+nfs in few days...

I've not been able to reproduce it yet with 2.6.36-rc7, but there's been no known recent bugfix in this area so whether the bug is fixed or not is unknown. If I've not been able to reproduce it on -rc7 or -rc8 after next weekend we could close the bug. --
OK, please close the bug when you think it's time or let me know if you can't close it yourself. Thanks, Rafael --
