Subject: PROBLEM: INFO: task apache2:8693 blocked for more than 120 seconds with kernel 3.8.8
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:28:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <516F9276.4020904@devclic.fr> (raw)

Hello,

We upgraded kernel on all system of a cluster and have some troubles 
with Apache 2. The architecture is composed by 4 NFS clients and 1 NFS 
Server, all based on 3.8.8 kernel version ( before, it was 2.6.32 on all 
systems and was running with no problem )

Sometimes and after having reboot on kernel 3.8.8, NFS Clients display 
this trace in the dmesg :

[12100.793549] INFO: task apache2:8695 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[12100.793577] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" 
disables this message.

The NFS Server exports a filesystem formatted in ReiserFS ( we mean it 
was the problem ) and we migrate to ext4, the problem is always present. 
I have one other architecture with a NFS Server based on a 2.6.24 Kernel 
and some clients with a 3.8.8 Kernel, the problem doesn't appear.

We made some tests with a 3.2 kernel and it was the same problem.

Can you give me some help ?

Thanks a lot.
Best Regards.
