Title:
  deadlock during lvm snapshot

Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm doing backup of a running mongodb using LVM snapshot. Sometimes I
  run into a deadlock situation and kernel reports blocked tasks for jbd2,
  mongod, dmeventd and my tar doing backup.

  This happens very rarely (one in a thousand) but the effect is rather
  severe as mongodb stops working. I also can't remove and unmount the
  snapshot.

  I have Ubuntu 16.04.1 (lvm2 2.02.133-1ubuntu10) with mongod 3.2.9 on a
  64bit system.

  According to the link below its a kernel race fixed in latest lvm2
  package.
