Perfect, thanks for testing!

FYI, with the patch back in version fio-2.13-1-gce8b, I re-ran my prior workload that caused the signal 11. The workload now completes without issue.

That looks odd, thanks for reporting this. I'll see if I can get
to this on Monday, if not, it'll have to wait until after my
vacation... So while I appreciate people running -git and
finding issues like these before they show up in a release,
might be best to revert back to 2.2.11 until I can get this debugged.
I take that back - continue using -git! Just pull a fresh copy,
should be fixed now.
Jan, the reporter is right, 2.11 works and -git does not. So I
just ran a quick bisect, changing the logging from every second
to every 100ms to make it reproduce faster. I don't have time to
look into why yet, so I just reverted the commit.

fio: Simplify forking of processes
Hum, I've tried reproducing this but failed (I've tried using
/dev/ram0 and
/dev/sda4 as devices for fio). Is it somehow dependent on the
device fio works with? I have used commit
54d0a3150d44adca3ee4047fabd85651c6ea2db1 (just before you reverted
my
patch) for testing.
On vacation right now, I'll check when I get back. It is possible
that it was just a fluke, since there was another bug there related
to shared memory, but it was predictably crashing at the same time for the bisect.
It doesn't make a lot of sense, however.
Did you have a chance to look into this?
I have not, unfortunately, but I'm suspecting the patch is fine and
the later fix to allocate the cur_log out of the shared pool was the
real fix and that the original patch was fine.
So that's what I'd suspect as well but I'm not able to reproduce even
the original crash so I cannot verify this theory... What's the plan
going forward? Will you re-apply the patch? Frankly, I don't care
much, it was just a small cleanup. I'm just curious whether it was
really that other bug or whether I miss something.
Yes, I think re-applying would be the best way forward. Especially since that 2.13 was just released, so we'll have a while to iron out any issues. But I really don't see how it could be the reason for the issue, I'm guessing it just exacerbated it somehow.
