Ok, can you try and reproduce with this one applied? It'll keep the system running (unless there are other corruptions going on), so it should help you a bit as well. It will dump some cfq state info when the condition triggers that can perhaps help diagnose this. So if you can apply this patch and reproduce + send the output, I'd much appreciate it! diff --git a/block/cfq-iosched.c b/block/cfq-iosched.c index b6491c0..2aba928 100644 --- a/block/cfq-iosched.c +++ b/block/cfq-iosched.c @@ -947,6 +947,36 @@ keep_queue: return cfqq; } +static void cfq_dump_queue(struct cfq_queue *cfqq) +{ + printk(" %d: sort=%d,next=%p,q=%d/%d,a=%d/%d,d=%d/%d,f=%x\n", cfqq->key, RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&cfqq->sort_list), cfqq->next_rq, cfqq->queued[0], cfqq->queued[1], cfqq->allocated[0], cfqq->allocated[1], cfqq->on_dispatch[0], cfqq->on_dispatch[1], cfqq->flags); +} + +static void cfq_dump_state(struct cfq_data *cfqd) +{ + struct cfq_queue *cfqq; + int i; + + printk("cfq: busy=%d,drv=%d,timer=%d\n", cfqd->busy_queues, cfqd->rq_in_driver, timer_pending(&cfqd->idle_slice_timer)); + + printk("cfq rr_list:\n"); + for (i = 0; i < CFQ_PRIO_LISTS; i++) + list_for_each_entry(cfqq, &cfqd->rr_list[i], cfq_list) + cfq_dump_queue(cfqq); + + printk("cfq busy_list:\n"); + list_for_each_entry(cfqq, &cfqd->busy_rr, cfq_list) + cfq_dump_queue(cfqq); + + printk("cfq idle_list:\n"); + list_for_each_entry(cfqq, &cfqd->idle_rr, cfq_list) + cfq_dump_queue(cfqq); + + printk("cfq cur_rr:\n"); + list_for_each_entry(cfqq, &cfqd->cur_rr, cfq_list) + cfq_dump_queue(cfqq); +} + static int __cfq_dispatch_requests(struct cfq_data *cfqd, struct cfq_queue *cfqq, int max_dispatch) @@ -964,6 +994,30 @@ __cfq_dispatch_requests(struct cfq_data *cfqd, struct cfq_queue *cfqq, if ((rq = cfq_check_fifo(cfqq)) == NULL) rq = cfqq->next_rq; + if (unlikely(!rq)) { + /* + * fixup that weird condition that happens with + * md, where ->next_rq == NULL while the rbtree + * is non-empty. dump some info that'll perhaps + * help find this issue. + */ + struct rb_node *n; + + printk("cfq: rbroot not empty, but ->next_rq" + " == NULL!
