Subject: possible fsync02() xfs slowness regression on power7
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 04:28:35 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2103242337.7001373.1362043715738.JavaMail.root@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <130819766.6999797.1362043338279.JavaMail.root@redhat.com>

This LTP test starting to fail using the latest upstream kernel on one of the power7
systems here, http://tinyurl.com/bngwouj

# ./fsync02
fsync02     1  TFAIL  :  fsync took too long: 252.000000 seconds; max_block: 214

When it is working, the test is almost returned immediately. The bisecting so far
indicated that one or a few of the following could be culprits.
