    Description

      Sometimes client in eviction gets stuck, unable to complete it. The symptoms include ll_imp_inval thread printing "still on delayed list" for some stuck RPC(s) and an import showing in EVICTED stated in the device list.

      The problem seems to be a deadlock between a request on the delayed list that was signalled to complete, and ptlrpc thread that's supposed to take care of it being stuck waiting for the request to finish like this:

      Of course blocking in ptlrpcd thread is a big no-no exactly for this sort of deadlocks.

      it sounds like we need to kick ll_dirty_page_discard_warn() call from vvp_vmpage_error() into a separate thread to ensure we are not blocking the brw_interpret where this is normally called from. or perhaps just the dput in there?
