Looking at the other guest as Lekshmi mentioned that all the guests are crashing.

Here the data I captured on lucky02 which did panic the way lucky05 did.

CPU 7 panic due to a data access error:

The system tried to access data pointed by r31 which contains data retrieved from the inode address stored in r29.
The panic happened during the inline call to wb_get when inode->i_wb is used.
So here inode->i_wb is null which is not expeted to happen.

At this time, CPU 6 is waiting for the same inode's spinlock inode->i_lock to be released here:

The CPU 6 hold the inode->i_lock in the call to inode_to_wb_and_lock_list().
Why inode->i_wb is null ?

== Comment: #11 - Laurent Dufour - 2016-11-25 11:57:50 ==
I found that lucky03 hit the panic also.
I took a closer look and it seems that there is a lock / memory barrier issue around between the code run in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() and another CPU. I found that the CPU 5 was running 'latest_blast' at the time the CPU 0 hit the panic. The same applied on lucky02.

So this is not a Ubuntu's issue but a more global one which is not fixed by the patch

as expected while investigating the bug 142781.

== Comment: #24 - Thiago Jung Bauermann - 2017-01-11 16:09:45 ==
Dan Willians posted on 01/06 a patch series which aims to solve this bug:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg106092.html

Unfortunately, the kernel test robot found problems with it:

http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1701.1/00239.html

Still, I think it's useful to perform tests to confirm that:

1. v4.10 is still affected by the problem and
2. Dan's patches fix this bug.

Therefore, could you please reproduce this bug on the unmodified v4.10-rc3 build below?

http://kernel.stglabs.ibm.com/~bauermann/bug149014/v4.10-rc3/

This will allow us to confirm point 1.

Then, can you please try to reproduce it with the build below?

http://kernel.stglabs.ibm.com/~bauermann/bug149014/fix-backing_dev_info-lifetime-v2/

This one is v4.10-rc3 plus Dan Willian's two patches from my link above applied to it.

Lekshmi mentioned that she wasn't able to reproduce this bug with kernel 4.10.0-rc3fixlifetime+, so I replied to Dan's patch series mentioning that it fixes this bug:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg106830.html

Let's see if he answers back with a status or thoughts regarding the patch series.

Hi

The fix worked with 4.10.0-rc3fixlifetime+ kernel.Need to know which kernel the fix is going to be.and whether able to get the workaround for 16.04.02 ie; kernel 4.8

Thanks
Lekshmi

Hello Canonical,

This is a crash we see on Ubuntu 16.04.02 guests when stress testing I/O.
Comment #24 summarizes the current state of this bug.

Basically, it was reported upstream already and it is present even in v4.10-rc3.

Dan Williams from Intel posted a patch series which fixes it. Unfortunately there are still issues with the patch series and he didn't post a newer version yet, therefore at this point this bug is for your awareness.

Dan Williams responded mentioning that he is planning to address the issues found by the test robot:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg106907.html

Then Jan Kara and Christoph Hellwig followed up with their thoughts on what is going wrong and what could be done. I suspect a fix is afoot.

Hello Canonical,

Let me provide a status update:

To fix this bug it's necessary to fix several issues with lifetime of structures in the block subsystem, as well as a number of related race conditions. A number of patches need to be backported to fix these problems:

The "BDI lifetime fix" v3 series?, which was already merged into Linus' tree:

f44f1ab5a2dc block: Unhash block device inodes on gendisk destruction
dc3b17cc8bf2 block: Use pointer to backing_dev_info from request_queue
d03f6cdc1fc4 block: Dynamically allocate and refcount backing_dev_info
b1d2dc5659b4 block: Make blk_get_backing_dev_info() safe without open bdev
efa7c9f97e3e block: Get rid of blk_get_backing_dev_info()

A couple of follow up fixes were merged for commits dc3b17cc8bf and b1d2dc5659b4:

e17354961bb5 zram_drv: update for backing dev info changes
a5a79d00017c block: Initialize bd_bdi on inode initialization

The first 4 patches from the "block: Fix block device shutdown related races" v2 series? were also merged:

4b8c861a7c79 block: Move bdev_unhash_inode() after invalidate_partition()
d06e05c026ab block: Unhash also block device inode for the whole device
cccd9fb9ec96 block: Revalidate i_bdev reference in bd_aquire()
165a5e22fafb block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()

A couple of follow up fixes were also merged for commit 165a5e22fafb:

b6f8fec4448a block: Allow bdi re-registration
df23de55615f bdi: Fix use-after-free in wb_congested_put()

Commit df23de55615f depends on the following commit:

5f478e4ea5c5 block: fix double-free in the failure path of cgwb_bdi_init()

In addition to the commits mentioned above, we will also need the patches from v4 of the same series, which was posted today:

https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=148941806220331&w=2

I have a branch with the patches that were already merged upstream backported on top of tag Ubuntu-4.4.0-65.86. Most of the commits didn't have any conflicts, and the ones that did were simple to resolve.

I will attach the backported patches to this bug report when all of the patches that we need are accepted upstream.

Small update:

The following commit is not actually necessary. It fixes code which is not present in v4.4:

Hi

I applied the fix on lucky04 and started the tests.
root@lucky04:/Blast# uname -r

Hello Canonical,

Here is an mbox file that can be used with git-am, containing all patches needed to fix this bug backported on top of tag Ubuntu-4.4.0-67.88. Most of the commits didn't have any conflicts, and the ones that did were simple to resolve. Each patch mentions the hash of the upstream commit it was cherry-picked from.

Lekshmi ran an I/O stress-test on them for more than 72h and didn't find any problem.

To fix this bug it's necessary to fix several issues with lifetime of structures in the block subsystem, as well as a number of related race conditions. Therefore, a number of patches needed to be backported:

The "BDI lifetime fix" v3 series?, which was already merged into Linus' tree:

f44f1ab5a2dc block: Unhash block device inodes on gendisk destruction
dc3b17cc8bf2 block: Use pointer to backing_dev_info from request_queue
d03f6cdc1fc4 block: Dynamically allocate and refcount backing_dev_info
b1d2dc5659b4 block: Make blk_get_backing_dev_info() safe without open bdev
efa7c9f97e3e block: Get rid of blk_get_backing_dev_info()

A follow up fix was merged for commits dc3b17cc8bf and b1d2dc5659b4:

a5a79d00017c block: Initialize bd_bdi on inode initialization

The first 4 patches from the "block: Fix block device shutdown related races" v2 series? were also merged:

4b8c861a7c79 block: Move bdev_unhash_inode() after invalidate_partition()
d06e05c026ab block: Unhash also block device inode for the whole device
cccd9fb9ec96 block: Revalidate i_bdev reference in bd_aquire()
165a5e22fafb block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()

A few follow up fixes? were also merged for commit 165a5e22fafb:

b6f8fec4448a block: Allow bdi re-registration
df23de55615f bdi: Fix use-after-free in wb_congested_put()
90f16fddcc28 block: Make del_gendisk() safer for disks without queues

Commit df23de55615f depends on the following commit:

5f478e4ea5c5 block: fix double-free in the failure path of cgwb_bdi_init()

In addition to the commits mentioned above, we also need the patches from the "block: Fix block device shutdown related races" v5, which are queued for v4.12 in linux-block/for-4.12/block?:

03e262798884 block: Fix bdi assignment to bdev inode when racing with disk delete
b7d680d7bf58 bdi: Mark congested->bdi as internal
810df54a64fb bdi: Make wb->bdi a proper reference
e8cb72b322cf bdi: Unify bdi->wb_list handling for root wb_writeback
5318ce7d4686 bdi: Shutdown writeback on all cgwbs in cgwb_bdi_destroy()
4514451e79ae bdi: Do not wait for cgwbs release in bdi_unregister()
b1c51afc00f1 bdi: Rename cgwb_bdi_destroy() to cgwb_bdi_unregister()
f759741d9d91 block: Fix oops in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
c70c176ff8c3 kobject: Export kobject_get_unless_zero()
d01b2dcb441b block: Fix oops scsi_disk_get()

Hello Canonical,

This bug also affects Zesty Zapus. It was reproduced with kernel 4.10.0-15-generic.

Should we open a separate bug for that version or will this one track both?

I'm not sure I understood the question. All of the patches are backports.
These are the files that had conflicts:

block/blk-cgroup.c
block/blk-core.c
block/blk-settings.c
block/blk-sysfs.c

I'm also attaching a new mbox file with exactly the same patches, with the only difference being that the description of each patch mentions which files had conflicts when cherry-picking.
