Hi, I can confirm the existence of this CPU soft-lock bug with gfs2.
I won't worry about reproducing the kernel bug message, but I have done a bit of digging and if I revert the following commit, added in the 4.19.130 release then this fixes issue for me. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-4.19.y&id=c91cffd0fd010c06d67f3a9a528b858ce28c60fb Note that the problem is still present in the latest upstream release in the 4.19 series (4.19.144) I've reported this bug in the kernel bugzilla, referenced here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209217 Cheers, Daniel Craig
