btrfs hanging since 3.16-rc3 or so

[Norbert Preining]

Dear all

(please keep Cc)

Since 3.16-rc3 or so I regularly get btrfs hanging in some transations.

Usually during apt-get upgrade or some other large file operations
(cowbuilder building of packages).

The log files give me for loads of processes things like:
[ 6236.746546] INFO: task aptitude:22775 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

THis is aptitude, but I have all the other tasks accessing the disk
hanging, too.

This time, issueing a Sysrq-s for emergency syncing did the laptop
out of the hang.

Hardware: Sonly VAIO Pro 13
Distribution: Debian/sid
self compiled kernel, config on request.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.

Thanks a lot

Norbert
