[-- Attachment #1 --]
I'm trying to locate a bug which causes a deadlock in VM subsystem
and would like to find some help here.
First of all, I'd describe the situation which has revealed the
problem.
We run a bunch of web servers providing free webpage service to our
customers. Back in July it was decided to upgrade the boxes due to security
issues with older kernels. Same time some other changes was done to the
internal network and some other stuff and now it's rather unclear whether
the upgrade is the cause, but thereafter we experience systematic httpd
hangups in uniterruptable waits ('D' status in ps output). Each hangup was
related to a webcam page with a image been updated each minute or so via
ftp (the way our customers update their pages).
While trying to find a solution we tested thttpd instead of apache
with one single box serving both HTTP and FTP. It resulted in even more
regular hangups occuring approximately each hour perhaps due to
single-process nature of thttpd. Just after another hangup the box was
taken out of service and preserved in that state so that I was able to dig
into the kernel and see what's going on.
Here is technical details I've got so far.
The kernel config I supply as an attachment. Kernel-mode stack
trace for the thttpd process looks like this:

Further investigation has shown that the hangup happend while
trying to release a page which is most likely locked by NFS subsystem. The
page belongs to the image file I mentioned before.

I'm looking for some help with further analysis directions because
from this point I'm not good enough with kernel internals.
