Bug#398456: The problem is back again. How can I extract more kernel info to help tracing it.



Hello

The lockd hang shows up again, but this time under very low system load.

On shutdown the kernel log have the line

/var/log/kern.log:Nov 27 13:49:12 essa kernel: lockd_down: lockd failed to 
exit, clearing pid


Is this related to the Fix reported in linux 2.6 17.14 changelog?

commit 387436208278da65b5715e0b3f96a8a3b5a4ed08
Author: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
Date:   Thu Sep 7 20:09:41 2006 -0400

    LOCKD: Fix a deadlock in nlm_traverse_files()
    
nlm_traverse_files() is not allowed to hold the nlm_file_mutex while calling 
nlm_inspect file, since it may end up calling nlm_release_file() when 
releaseing the blocks.

If it is I preciate a word on moving to 2.6.18!

In case you think it is not, I am reopening the bug and asking if someone can 
give me some suggestions on retrieving the kernel relevant info in order to 
trace out the problem?

Thanks

Pedro
