Hi, I've spent some time (2 weekwnds) on this issue, while I was able to realize that not the packet-writing but the UDF driver is broken
here is the recipie to reproduve the issue: dd if=/dev/zer of=udf.img bs=1024k count=3000 mkudffs udf.img mount -o loop udf.img /mnt/tmp cd /mnt/tmp tar xjvf /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-rc2 cd / umount /mnt/tmp On the end I get a never ending umount process in D state. sysreq-T tells the following about the umount process: umount D C03F93E0 0 5848 5655 (NOTLB) c797dd68 00200082 ca674560 c03f93e0 00000040 00000000 c81e327c 0000000c 000ae62d 925f0dc0 000f43e3 ca674560 ca6746b0 c797c000 cebf184c 00200282 ca674560 c02ea6e0 cebf1854 00000001 ca674560 c01170c0 cebf1854 cebf1854 Call Trace: [<c02ea6e0>] __down+0x90/0x110 [<c01170c0>] default_wake_function+0x0/0x20 [<c017c511>] __mark_inode_dirty+0xd1/0x1c0 [<c02ea8ab>] __down_failed+0x7/0xc [<e0d1fda0>] .text.lock.balloc+0x8/0x128 [udf] [<e0d25767>] udf_write_aext+0xf7/0x170 [udf] [<e0d1fbac>] udf_free_blocks+0xcc/0x100 [udf] [<e0d2cda4>] extent_trunc+0x124/0x180 [udf] [<e0d2d025>] udf_discard_prealloc+0x225/0x2e0 [udf] [<e0d21301>] udf_clear_inode+0x41/0x50 [udf] [<c017285e>] clear_inode+0xde/0x120 [<c01728df>] dispose_list+0x3f/0xb0 [<c0172a92>] invalidate_inodes+0x62/0x90 [<c015e9ad>] generic_shutdown_super+0x5d/0x140 [<c015f69d>] kill_block_super+0x2d/0x50 [<c015e84d>] deactivate_super+0x6d/0x90 [<c0175e6f>] sys_umount+0x3f/0xa0 [<c014bc8d>] do_munmap+0x13d/0x180 [<c014bd14>] sys_munmap+0x44/0x70 [<c0175ee7>] sys_oldumount+0x17/0x20 [<c0103263>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb any ideas (or patches?)
