Hi,
we have the same problem on several of our servers (mostly HP ProLiant ML350p
Gen8 but also other brands) and are able to reproduce it reliably on some of
them. Usually the soft lockups are triggered during our nightly rsync backups
(backing up lots of local files with POSIX ACLs to a local disk), but they also
happened during normal use. After a few hours of soft lockups and an unusable
server, the hardware watchdog finally kicks in and a kernel panic results.
All file systems involved are EXT3.
We've confirmed the problem with kernels 3.16, 3.18 and 4.3.
Kernel 3.14 seems not to be affected - no problems on any server after the
downgrade.
Soft lockup:

Yeah, although your workload seems to be different than what's described in bug
107301, the principal problem with mbache is the same. Can either of you guys
test patches I have posted which should fix it? I'll attach tarball with them
in a moment.

I would definitely ask you to try Jan's patches to see if they make a
difference, although given that your reports are with what happens with the
mbcache shrinker, it's not quite the same as the bug in 107301.
Quick question, are you using containers at all in these systems?

Thank you very much, I'll try the patches tomorrow.
And yes, we're indeed running several LXC containers on the affected servers.
One quick correction to my original comment: When I stated that kernel 3.14
does not seem to be affected, I mixed up the version number. It's 3.13 that
doesn't exhibit any problems for us (we didn't test with 3.14). I'm sorry for
the mistake.

--- Comment #6 from Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu> ---
You said that you had replicated this problem on 4.2, so it's probably not the
primary driver of the problem in your case, but be aware that in some of the
older kernels (and 3.14 is included in that list), the shrinker is not cgroup
aware. That means that if a single container starts aggressively using all of
its memory, we will start kicking off *all* of the slab cache shrinkers. I've
seen that in a very container-heavy environment, with many tasks that use right
up to their memory cgroup limit (and sometimes beyond), that this can cause the
ext4 extent status cache shrinker to end up getting run a lot, which leads to
symptoms similar to yours due to spinlock contention. (Of course, for a
different spinlock since a different slab cache shrinker is involved).
I've been playing with some patches to use trylock and to abandon the ext4 es
shrinker if it's under too much lock contention, but I haven't come up with
something for which I was sufficiently happy to push upstream yet --- because
if the slab cache does need shrinker, just simply giving up isn't going to do
the right thing entirely, either.
One hacky solution would be to add knobs so we can cap the size of various
caches like the mbcache and extents status cache so we can afford to be more
aggressive at giving up if the trylock fails. But assuming that system
administrators will *set* these knobs correctly is probably a bad choice. So
this is a more general problem than just the mbcache, and I haven't found a
good general solution yet. And there may not be; we can try to make systems
that are less likely to lead to spinlock contention, but under sufficiently
heavy memory pressure, this may only be forestalling the inevitable.

--- Comment #7 from Norman Meilick <nm@sbe.de> ---
I'm sorry for the long delay, testing took longer than expected. While we could
trigger the problem every time with kernels 3.14 to 3.18, it took 2-3 attempts
(usually about 8 hours of backing up around 2.5M files) until the spinlock
contention appeared with kernels 4.2.0 and 4.4.0-rc8.
Since applying Jan's patches to 4.4.0-rc8 we have not experienced any problems,
so it seems to us that this fixed the issue. Thank you very much to both of
you.
I'm also grateful for the advice regarding containers. On our test server we
only have six containers with a modest memory use (we made sure to monitor it
during the tests), so this likely wasn't an issue there.

These patches have been pushed to Linus, and will be in Linux 4.6.
