The issue is quite hard to reproduce on other systems, quite likely related to the size of the filesystem involved (4 devices with a total of 8TB, millions of files, ~20 subvolumes with tens of snapshots each) and the access pattern from many LXD containers at once. It definitely goes away when disabling btrfs quotas though. Another prerequisite to trigger this bug may be the container subvolumes sharing extents (from their parent image or due to deduplication). I can only reliably reproduce it on a production system that I can only do very limited testing on, however I have been able to gather the following information: - Many threads are stuck, trying to aquire locks on various tree roots, which are never released by their current holders. - There always seem to be (at least) two threads executing rmdir syscalls which are creating the circular dependency: One of them is in btrfs_cow_block => ... => btrfs_qgroup_trace_extent_post => ... => find_parent_nodes and wants to acquire a lock that was already aquired by btrfs_search_slot of the other rmdir. - Reverting this patch seems to prevent it from happening: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9573267/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1765998/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
