Subject: [PATCH 0/1] dm-delay: fix hung task issue
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 09:21:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240426072135.291206-1-joel.colledge@linbit.com> (raw)

Hi,

The tests for DRBD encountered an issue with dm-delay when testing with
a 6.8 series kernel. Specifically on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble". Here is a
minimal reproducer:

virter vm run --name dm-delay-test --id 10 --wait-ssh ubuntu-noble
virter vm ssh dm-delay-test
# truncate -s 100M /file
# loop_dev=$(losetup -f --show /file)
# echo "0 $(blockdev --getsz $loop_dev) delay $loop_dev 0 0" | dmsetup create delay-volume

After a few minutes, the following is printed to the kernel log:

[  246.919123] INFO: task dm-delay-flush-:1256 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
[  246.922543]       Not tainted 6.8.0-31-generic #31-Ubuntu

This bug appears to have been introduced in Linux v6.7.

The following patch fixes the issue.

Best regards,
Joel
