Subject: generic/224 failures on 4.5 - encrypted test case
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 17:37:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160315213727.GA2635@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
As mentioned in a recent concall, I've been seeing some unpleasant looking
failures of generic/224 when running the encryption test case on x86_64
with xfstest-bld's test appliance. I first saw an outright failure of the
test accompanied by kernel errors in a 4.5-rc7 regression run, and was able
to reproduce the same on 4.5.
The test fails relatively rarely - about one in ten trials. The set of
reported kernel errors varies considerably from run to run. The one constant
is an ENOSPC complaint from ext4_bio_write_page() which appears whether the
test passes or fails. This is sometimes followed by another error,
"JBD2: Detected IO errors while flushing file data on vdc-8", and in this
case the test also passes.
Generic/224 is intended to test delayed allocation behavior at ENOSPC, so
the ENOSPC condition itself is not necessarily surprising.
(The ext4_bio_write_page() messages appeared in test runs on earlier kernels,
such as 4.4, as well.)
Here's one example of the log from a failed test run:
