The page structure, whose address was retrieved from the process stack, shows the flags PG_locked and PG_lru are set.

}

Unfortunately, the page lock is never released. Looking at the dump info I am not able to find the current owner of the PG_locked page lock.

The application is the MIGAL benchmark.
I am going to upload the dump file in attachment to this ticket. The hang can be easily reproduced if more information is needed.

The same problem has also been produced at CEA using DDT a debugger environment. The stack is similar:
