(Hmm, why did you cc linux-km on this report? I would have thought
dm-devel would have made more sense?)

So this failure makes no sense to me. Looking at the kmesg failure
logs, it's failing in the md layer:
kern :info : [ 99.775514] md/raid1:md0: not clean -- starting background reconstruction
kern :info : [ 99.783372] md/raid1:md0: active with 3 out of 4 mirrors

The referenced commit just turns block bitmap prefetching in ext4.
This should not cause md to failure; if so, that's an md bug, not an
ext4 bug. There should not be anything that the file system is doing
that would cause the kernel to think there is a disk failure.
By the way, the reproduction instructions aren't working currently:

This fails because lkp is trying to apply a patch which does not apply
with the current version of the md tools.
> bin/lkp split-job --compatible job.yaml
> bin/lkp run compatible-job.yaml
And the current versions lkp don't generate a compatible-job.yaml file
when you run "lkp split-job --compatable"; instead it generates a new
yaml file with a set of random characters to generate a unique name.
(What Multics parlance would be called a "shriek name"[1] :-)
Since I was having trouble running the reproduction; could you send
the /var/tmp/*fail.logs so we could have a bit more insight what is
going on?
Thanks!
