dmesg received via netconsole before the system hang

Hi,

We are running a ceph cluster on ext4 filesystem, we recently got a hardware
failure, the ceph recovery process provokes a huge amount of data write on all
our ext4 filesystems (~40 disks).

Now, we are experienced random nodes hang, we catch some partial backtrace
(that can be found on the ceph bug tracker). And recently we got the full dmesg
log via netconsole (attached to this BZ).

When the freeze occurs, it seems ceph processes lockup all the CPUs, each CPUs
backtrace is related to a xattr operation.

bug report on ceph side: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/13662

We have some nodes on debian and some other on ubuntu, we tried kernels 3.16,
3.19, 4.2.3. The issue occurs with all of them.

Cheers,
