[arch-general] khugepaged hangs and filesystem unresponsive
Good evening, I just experienced a major problem with my system while listening to a music file in mpd from an xfs filesystem over a mdadm raid6. A kernel error was thrown, with the following error.log entry: output: /var/log/error.log

Attempts to access other files on the same filesystem after the incident caused the applications used to also go into interruptible sleep (see the mplayer processes that appear later in the log). I was forced to kill and unmount what I could, then force the system down. Afterwards, I could replicate the error by attempting to read the file in question at the same point Even if you have no solution, pointing me towards the relevant kernel mailing list would be very helpful. Thanks, pants.

It is difficult to say where the problem is in. I'd go for LKML mailing list [1] or for the Kernel Bugzilla [2] as stated in [3]. You may try XFS mailing list if you think it's XFS-only issue (ie. it doesn't happen with other filesystems).

I don't know how much I can bring them; I ran xfs_repair on the filesystem in question, deleted, and replaced the problematic file, and have had no further problems with it. Thank you for your input regardless, pants.
