Subject: 2.4.21-pre2 stalls out when running unixbench
Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 11:56:31 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301031656.QAA29658@rudolph.ccur.com> (raw)
Hi Everyone,
2.4.21-pre2 and -pre1 stall when running unixbench 4.1.0. 2.4.20
works perfectly. Stall is detected by running
while true; do sync; sleep 1; echo -e '.\c'; done
in another window while unixbench is running. Stall is assumed if
the dots stop printing for 10 minutes. Stall will happen anywhere
from 40 seconds to 6-7 minutes into the run.
Rather than run all of unixbench, I have been running the parts that
seem to trigger the issue:
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do
./Run fstime fsbuffer fsdisk
done
Other windows continue to operate and accept new commands, as long as
one stays away from sync(1).
Another 2.4.21-pre2 kernel, loaded up with patches (kdb, lcrash,
preempt, O1, etc), also exhibits the same behavior. I used this
kernel to get kdb stack trackbacks of all processes sitting in
uninterruptible-sleep. This may be interesting since generally one
cannot catch any process sleeping uninterruptably unless the system
is suffering from a sleep-semaphore deadlock.
Random data points: ext3, scsi, dual cpu, problem did not appear when
booted singleuser (one attempt), kernel built with gcc version 2.96
20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110).
