xfs_fsr is waiting for a direct I/O to complete.
Other processes are waiting for the superblock I/O to compete
(which is why writes are hanging), an dothers are waiting

off I/O completion, and this:

indicates someone trying a DOS on your box. Perhaps it's

If you pull the network cable, does the system start to respond
