Dear xfs developer,
I was doing some testing on a Linux 5.10.1 system with two 100 TB xfs
filesystems on md raid6 raids.
The stress test was essentially `cp -a`ing a Linux source repository with two
threads in parallel on each filesystem.
After about on hour, the processes to one filesystem (md1) blocked, 30 minutes
later the process to the other filesystem (md0) did.

Some info from the system (all stack traces, slabinfo) is available here:
https://owww.molgen.mpg.de/~buczek/2020-12-16.info.txt
It stands out, that there are many (549 for md0, but only 10 for md1)
"xfs-conv" threads all with stacks like this
[<0>] xfs_log_commit_cil+0x6cc/0x7c0
[<0>] __xfs_trans_commit+0xab/0x320
[<0>] xfs_iomap_write_unwritten+0xcb/0x2e0
[<0>] xfs_end_ioend+0xc6/0x110
[<0>] xfs_end_io+0xad/0xe0
[<0>] process_one_work+0x1dd/0x3e0
[<0>] worker_thread+0x2d/0x3b0
[<0>] kthread+0x118/0x130
[<0>] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
xfs_log_commit_cil+0x6cc is
xfs_log_commit_cil()
xlog_cil_push_background(log)
xlog_wait(&cil->xc_push_wait, &cil->xc_push_lock);
Some other threads, including the four "cp" commands are also blocking at
xfs_log_commit_cil+0x6cc
There are also single "flush" process for each md device with this stack
signature:
[<0>] xfs_map_blocks+0xbf/0x400
[<0>] iomap_do_writepage+0x15e/0x880
[<0>] write_cache_pages+0x175/0x3f0

[<0>] kthread+0x118/0x130
[<0>] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
xfs_map_blocks+0xbf is the
xfs_ilock(ip, XFS_ILOCK_SHARED);
in xfs_map_blocks().
Can you post the entire dmesg output after running
'echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger' to dump all the block threads to
dmesg?
I have an out of tree driver for the HBA ( smartpqi 2.1.6-005
pulled from linux-scsi) , but it is unlikely that this blocking is
related to that, because the md block devices itself are
responsive (`xxd /dev/md0` )
My bet is that the OOT driver/hardware had dropped a log IO on the
floor - XFS is waiting for the CIL push to complete, and I'm betting
that is stuck waiting for iclog IO completion while writing the CIL
to the journal. The sysrq output will tell us if this is the case,
so that's the first place to look.
I think you are right here, and I'm sorry for blaming the wrong layer.
I've got the system into another (though little different) zero-progress
situation. This time it happened on md0 only while md1 was still working.
I think, this should be prove, that the failure is on the block layer of the
member disks:
