Hi Dave,

When I was running the AIM7's disk workload on a 8-socket Westmere-EX
server with 4.0 kernel, the kernel crash. A set of small ramdisks were
created (ramdisk_size=271072). Those ramdisks were formatted with XFS
filesystem before the test began. The kernel log was:

XFS (ram12): Mounting V4 Filesystem
XFS (ram12): Log size 1424 blocks too small, minimum size is 1596 blocks
XFS (ram12): Log size out of supported range. Continuing onwards, but if
log hangs are
experienced then please report this message in the bug report.
