[LU-13922] Client blocked in lstat()

Related — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 13:47:59 +0000

Recently, with Lustre 2.12.5, we experienced a blocked Lustre client on the Robinhood server with the following task info:

Aug 24 23:05:15 fir-rbh01 kernel: INFO: task robinhood:10783 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

The rest of the clients were ok but I guess a inode was blocked. The only solution I found was to restart the MDS (here, fir-MDT0003).

I took a crash dump of the MDS when this happened and is it available on the FTP server as fir-md1-s4_vmcore_2020-08-25-08-27-56.

Also, I'm providing the following files from the crash dump:

vmcore dmesg as fir-md1-s4_vmcore-dmesg_2020-08-25-08-27-56.txt
vmcore's foreach bt as fir-md1-s4_foreach-bt_2020-08-25-08-27-56.txt

Lately, our MDS has been highly loaded with a lot of mdt_rdpg threads, but until then didn't block on any inode. This is different and worth investigating in my opinion.

I'm wondering if this could be due to DNE as I'm seeing a lot of those:
