Subject: generic/418 regression seen on 5.12-rc3
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 14:16:13 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210318181613.GA13891@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
As mentioned in today's ext4 concall, I've seen generic/418 fail from time to
time when run on 5.12-rc3 and 5.12-rc1 kernels. This first occurred when
running the 1k test case using kvm-xfstests. I was then able to bisect the
failure to a patch landed in the -rc1 merge window:
(bd8a1f3655a7) mm/filemap: support readpage splitting a page
Typical test output resulting from a failure looks like:
QA output created by 418
+cmpbuf: offset 0: Expected: 0x1, got 0x0
+[6:0] FAIL - comparison failed, offset 3072
+diotest -w -b 512 -n 8 -i 4 failed at loop 0
Silence is golden
...
I've also been able to reproduce the failure on -rc3 in the 4k test case as
well. The failure frequency there was 10 out of 100 runs. It was anywhere
from 2 to 8 failures out of 100 runs in the 1k case.
So, the failure isn't dependent upon block size less than page size.
