Yeah, that looks mostly the same, though when I see it with
CONFIG_NO_HZ, I get an increasing slowdown to unusability, not instant
sloth as you do. (The WD GreenPower thing is a complete red herring, of
course: if that was the cause of the sloth, it would be slow in other
kernels too. I see this both on machines with -- non-buggy --
GreenPowers behind an Areca RAID array, and on machines with totally
different brands of drives. ToI is likewise a complete red herring.)
