Public bug reported:
we're running Ubuntu 16.04.4, mdadm - v3.3 and Kernel 4.13.0-36(ubuntu package
linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04).
We have created raid10 using 22 960GB SSDs [1] . The problem we're
experiencing is that /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray
(executed by cron, included in a mdadm pkg) results in (soft?)
deadlock - load on the node spikes up to 500-700 and all I/O operations
are blocked for a period of time. We can see traces liek these [2] in
our kernel log.
e.g. it ends up in static state like
test@os-node1:~$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
[raid10]

bitmap: 0/39 pages [0KB], 131072KB chunk

and the only solution is to hard reboot the node. What we found out is that it
doesn't happen on idle raid, we have to generate some significant load
(10 VMs running fio[3] with 500GB HDDs.) to be able to reproduce the issue.
Anyone ever experienced similar issues? Do you have any suggestions how to
better trouble shoot this issue and maybe identify if disks or software layer
is responsible for this behavior
