Thank you for reporting this issue.

Could you get stack dump of the stuck nilfs task?
It is acquirable as follows if you enabled magic sysrq feature:

# echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger

I will dig into the process how it got stuck.

P.S.
nilfs.org and the nilfs mailing list is stopping due to planned power
outage. They will be back on June 15 0:30 a.m.

A backup site except the list is available on
http://nilfs.sourceforge.net/en/ during the period.

Regards,
Ryusuke Konishi
