Dear Zhenyu,

I also met the same problem when I did the optimization with variable cell 
using PWSCF.
You can read the PWSCF manual, this is what Paolo replied you.
For my experiences, one main factor for this problem is that your starting 
structure is far from the final results. In this case, you may not choose 
the option "potential_extrapolation='wfc2'". Just use the default value.
For my case, I tried to change the ecut and ecutrho. But it did not help if 
I start with a crazy structure and with potential_extrapolation='wfc2'on. 
So if you can not guess the starting structure, it will help if you do not 
choose the option "potential_extrapolation='wfc2'".
