Subject: Ext4 corruption with VM images as 3 > drop_caches

Message-ID: <87pndagw7s.fsf@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi,
With new vm install I am finding corruption with the vm image if I
follow up the install with echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
The file system reports below error.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ...

Bisecting this finds
Commit 244adf6426ee31a83f397b700d964cff12a247d3("ext4: make dioread_nolock the default")
as bad. If I revert the same on top of linus upstream(fb33c6510d5595144d585aa194d377cf74d31911)
I don't hit the corrupttion anymore.
