hello,


with .34-rc1 i see some "stalls"; systems is frozen for say 30seconds, then comes backs to life
The only clue i have is strange ATA logs that I didn't have before, see below.
My disk may be dying, it's 6 years old, but i shows the messages only in .34-rc1, never in .33 or .32

If the stalls are unrelated to ata, how could I debug that with perf? i got lots of 'WARNING: failed to keep up with mmap data' when using perf top....
'

thx
Etienne
