Subject: Jffs2 soft lockup on 2.6.31-rc5
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:32:05 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A77F205.5090001@embedded-sol.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm getting soft lockups on Freescale MPC8536DS board running 2.6.31-rc5.
MTD device is 60M partition on Spansion 128MB NOR flash (S29GL01GP).

To reproduce the problem, I run

flash_eraseall /dev/mtd4
mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt
sync

The lockup messages look like this:

INFO: task sync:1096 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
Call Trace:

[df04df40] [c000f7e4] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x3c


The system does not lock completely, the sync returns after 2 lockup 
messages
and jffs2 partition is fully  usable.

The problem is not reproducible if I use ubifs or just copy data to 
/dev/mtd4.
So it seems the problem is related to jffs2.  Any ideas what can be 
wrong and
how to fix it  ?

Thanks.

Felix.
