Hi,

I can reliably reproduce a complete machine lockup when compiling
kernel sources with "make -j". After making some progress machine
stops responding to anything (including CapsLock/NumLock switching or
mouse moving) and after hard reboot nothing is left in kern.log or
syslog. Only attaching a serial console gives me the following clues
to what happens:

[  376.460584] INFO: task cc1:6839 blocked for more than 60 seconds.
[  376.533411] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs"

Interesting thing is that after such hang happens, I reboot the
machine and try to build again (this time with limited number of
threads) I get lots of "input/output errors" from make and messages
like the following in kern.log:

[  186.518188] ecryptfs_decrypt_page: Error attempting to read lower
page; rc = [-4]
[  186.522951] ecryptfs_decrypt_page: Error attempting to read lower
page; rc = [-4]
[  186.522955] ecryptfs_readpage: Error decrypting page; rc = [-4]
[  186.542690] Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region
or xattr region
[  186.542694] Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs
format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode
is not enabled; returning -EIO

(As you can guess I'm building in my home directory which is ecryptfs.)

After that only doing "make distclean" allows me to compile kernel
again. And note that when I build with "make -j 10" everything works
fine (I have 2 CPUs with 4 cores each without hyper-threading).


So is it some bug or a known bad usage of ecryptfs?


Thank you,
Pavel
