verification can be done with this script:


#!/bin/bash

modprobe nbd
qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0

truncate /tmp/testfile -s 20G
qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 /tmp/testfile

for n in $( seq 1 250 ) ; do
  echo $n
  ( dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nbd0 bs=1 & )
done

qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0


after running that, on an unpatched system the dmesg will show a large number (~100 or more) of messages like:
[   70.408246] block nbd0: Attempted send on closed socket

with a patched kernel, the dmesg will show a ratelimited number (~10) of
those messages.

This has been verified on trusty 3.13, vivid 3.19, and wily 4.2

Title:
  Soft lockup with "block nbdX: Attempted send on closed socket" spam

Bug description:
  Some of our nova compute hosts regularly freeze, sometimes for a few
  hours, with kern.log getting spammed with:

  block nbdX: Attempted send on closed socket

  and a few "CPU soft lockup" messages (see attached log). This clears
  up when the queue gets cleared, eg :

  block nbdX: queue cleared

  trusty hosts with kernel version 3.19.0-30-generic.
