Greetings,
I am running in to a problem, seemingly a deadlock situation, where almost
all the processes end up in the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state. All the
process eventually stop responding, including login shell, no screen
updates, keyboard etc. Can ping and sysrq key works. I traced the tasks
through sysrq-t key. The processors are in the idle state. Tasks all seem
to get stuck in the __wait_on_page or __lock_page. It appears from the
source that they are waiting for pages to be unlocked. run_task_queue
(&tq_disk) should eventually cause pages to unlock but it doesn't happen.
Anybody familiar with this problem or have seen it before? Thanks for any
comments.

Here are the conditions:
Dual PIII, 1GHz, 1GB of memory, aic7xxx scsi driver, acenic eth.
This occurs while TUX (2.4.5-B6) webserver is being driven by SPECWeb99
benchmark at a rate of 800 c/s. The system is very busy doing disk and
network I/O. Problem occurs sometimes in an hour and sometimes 10-20 hours
in to the running.
