Thanks. Might be core MM, might be XFS, might be Fedora.
Hilf, does your patch look related? That seems to have gone quiet?
Should we progress Tetsuo's patch?

That's XFS trying to allocate memory to load an acl off disk, only it
looks this thread does a MAYFAIL allocation. It's a GFP_FS (since we
don't set KM_NOFS) allocation so we recurse into fs reclaim, and the
ACL-getter has locked the inode (which is probably why lockdep
triggers). I wonder if that's really a deadlock vs. just super-slow
behavior, but otoh I don't think we're supposed to allow reclaim to jump
into the filesystems when the fs has locks held.
That kmem_alloc_large should probably be changed to KM_NOFS. Dave?

Just to remind, running xfstests/generic/273 could trigger the lockdep
deadlock warning.

I suspect it's a false positive, but without the rest of the lockdep
trace I don't have any context to determine if there is actually a
deadlock vector there.
i.e. the locked inode is referenced and we are not in a transaction
context, so the only reclaim recursion that could attempt to lock it
is dirty page writeback off the LRU from kswapd. i.e. direct
reclaim will never see that inode, nor can I see how it would block
on it. e.g. it's no different from doing memory allocation for BMBT
metadata blocks with the XFS_ILOCK held when reading in the extent
list on a data read or FIEMAP call.
Cheers,
Dave.

Ok, I've looked at the bz now, and the rest of the trace is kswapd
locking an inode from the superblock shrinker. That means I'm pretty
certain this is a false positive and has nothing to do with whatever
hang is occuring on the user's machine.
These:
Oct 09 14:00:18 kernel: DMA-API: cacheline tracking ENOMEM, dma-debug disabled
occur when a radix_tree_insert() call fails, but I don't see a
radix_tree_preload() call anywhere around that code to ensure the
radix tree insert has memory available before locks are taken and
the insert is attempted. Ahhhh:
static RADIX_TREE(dma_active_cacheline, GFP_NOWAIT);
Seems like that is guaranteed to fail under mempry pressure as it
won't allow memory reclaim to block waiting for progress to be made.
Hence I see nothing in the bug to back up the assertions that
"Everyone who uses a swapfile on XFS filesystem seem affected by
this hang up." There's no evidence at all that even points the
subsystem that has hung. sysrq-w, sysrq-l and sysrq-t output are the
first things we need from that machine to see if/where it is
actually hung...
Cheers,
Dave.
