** Description changed: Up to date Arch Linux on host and guest. linux 5.2.11. QEMU 4.1.0. Full command line at bottom. Host gives QEMU two thin LVM volumes. The first is the root filesystem, and the second is for heavy I/O, on a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB. When maxing out the I/O on the second virtual block device using virtio- blk, I often get a "lockup" in about an hour or two. From the advise of iggy in IRC, I switched over to virtio-scsi. It ran perfectly for a few days, but then "locked up" in the same way. By "lockup", I mean writes to the second virtual block device permanently hang. I can read files from it, but even "touch foo" never times out, cannot be "kill -9"'ed, and is stuck in uninterruptible sleep. When this happens, writes to the first virtual block device with the root filesystem are fine, so the O/S itself remains responsive. The second virtual block device uses BTRFS. But, I have also tried XFS and reproduced the issue. In guest, when this starts, it starts logging "task X blocked for more than Y seconds". Below is an example of one of these. At this point, anything that is or does in the future write to this block device gets stuck in uninterruptible sleep. ----- INFO: task kcompactd:232 blocked for more than 860 seconds. - Not tained 5.2.11-1 #1 + Not tained 5.2.11-1 #1 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this messae. kcompactd0 D 0 232 2 0x80004000 Call Trace: - ? __schedule+0x27f/0x6d0 - schedule+0x3d/0xc0 - io_schedule+0x12/0x40 - __lock_page+0x14a/0x250 - ? add_to_page_cache_lru+0xe0/0xe0 - migrate_pages+0x803/0xb70 - ? isolate_migratepages_block+0x9f0/0x9f0 - ? __reset_isolation_suitable+0x110/0x110 - compact_zone+0x6a2/0xd30 - kcompactd_do_work+0x134/0x260 - ? kvm_clock_read+0x14/0x30 - ? kvm_sched_clock_read+0x5/0x10 - kcompactd+0xd3/0x220 - ? wait_woken+0x80/0x80 - kthread+0xfd/0x130 - ? kcompactd_do_work+0x260/0x260 - ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80 - ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 + ? __schedule+0x27f/0x6d0 + schedule+0x3d/0xc0 + io_schedule+0x12/0x40 + __lock_page+0x14a/0x250 + ? add_to_page_cache_lru+0xe0/0xe0 + migrate_pages+0x803/0xb70 + ? isolate_migratepages_block+0x9f0/0x9f0 + ? __reset_isolation_suitable+0x110/0x110 + compact_zone+0x6a2/0xd30 + kcompactd_do_work+0x134/0x260 + ? kvm_clock_read+0x14/0x30 + ? kvm_sched_clock_read+0x5/0x10 + kcompactd+0xd3/0x220 + ? wait_woken+0x80/0x80 + kthread+0xfd/0x130 + ? kcompactd_do_work+0x260/0x260 + ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80 + ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 ----- In guest, there are no other dmesg/journalctl entries other than "task...blocked".
