[Bug 1393151] Re: Writing to ext4 LVM FS causes GPF in mpage_process_page_bufs

 

** Description changed:

- Writing data to a 3 TB ext4-formatted logical volume on a 2x6 TB mdadm
- raid 1 mirror always results in a GPF within 1 minute of writing the
- data. Disks seem to be OK smart-wise.
+ mkfs.ext3 always causes a kernel panic on both of my WD 6 TB drives
+ while writing the inode tables. Both drives were initialised using
+ parted with a GPT and a single partition (mkpart primary 2048s 100%)
  
- When the GPF occurs, the md1 raid volume gets degraded, the entire
- system gets irresponsive and after the next boot (hard reset), the  raid
- syncing starts from scratch (which takes 10 hours with the two 6 TB
- drives).
+ sdc                          8:32   0   5.5T  0 disk
+ └─sdc1                       8:33   0   5.5T  0 part
+ sdd                          8:48   0   5.5T  0 disk
+ └─sdd1                       8:49   0   5.5T  0 part
  
- The GPF always happens in mpage_process_page_bufs:
+ mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1
+ mke2fs 1.42.10 (18-May-2014)
+ Creating filesystem with 1465130240 4k blocks and 183144448 inodes

** Description changed:

  mkfs.ext3 always causes a kernel panic on both of my WD 6 TB drives
  while writing the inode tables. Both drives were initialised using
  parted with a GPT and a single partition (mkpart primary 2048s 100%)

  I'll have to try to take a photo of the KP since it's not being
  logged, I'm just seeing it on the screen.

  Creating an ext4 partition works fine but the crash just happens later
  after writing files to the partition. Disks seems to be fine smart-
  wise. It's unlikely that both disks are damaged in almost the same
  area without S.M.A.R.T. noticing it.
