Re: BUG: ext3 hang in transaction commit

[Peter Zijlstra]

Marcelo has seen something similar, kjournald got stuck and the rest of
userspace piled on top of it.

The softlockup watchdog triggered because kjournald got stuck in D state
for over 2 minutes. However Marcelo told me that it did get going
eventually...

He had a rather easy to reproduce case IIRC, I'll let him tell you more
about it :-)
