Description

Customer has applied patch from LU-2779 to 2.4.1 clients.

We've verified the patch has been applied:

  + lwi = LWI_INTR(NULL, NULL);
  rc = l_wait_event(ext->oe_waitq, extent_wait_cb(ext, state),
  &lwi);
  }

And, the client RPMs have been rebuilt and installed. However, the Lustre clients are still failing with the following error:

LustreError: 17450:0:(cl_lock.c:1964:discard_cb()) ASSERTION( (!(page->cp_type == CPT_CACHEABLE) || (!PageWriteback(cl_page_vmpage(env, page)))) ) failed:

The patched RPM is attached. Please advise.

Here are some news/updates for this ticket after the conf-call :
_ it has been agreed that further update for this problem at AWE will be in this ticket and no longer in LU-4581 for LLNL.
_ there are no known recent occurrence of this problem at AWE.
_ as already requested in LU-4581, customer is running with D_CACHE traces enabled on their Clients.
_ debug buffer size has also been increased (exact value to be provided).
_ a crash-dump will be taken and available for debugging upon next occurrence.
_ would be also of interest to have the exact Lustre version being run on Clients/Servers along with the list/detail of any additional patches applied.

This is still occurring at DDN site so this does not appear to be a duplicate of LU-4581. Can we please get a level set on where are with this ticket? Oz, how frequently does this issue occur at the customer site? Are there any logs/stacks/crash dumps associated with the crashes?

duplicate of LU-4581. I closed this one because it has a stack trace over there.

Hello Oz,
Is there any crash-dump available for this issue, and if yes can you provide it with the necessary vmlinux and lustre modules ?
BTW, LU-4581 seems to also report the same issue, even if we still need to clarify if it occurs running with patch/change #5419 from LU-2779.
