Hi Darrick, Sorry to trouble you, generic/475 rarely trigger an error[1] (test on 4.16 kernel) I checked the case, from the xfstests code below: _dmerror_load_error_table() { suspend_opt="--nolockfs" if [ "$1" = "lockfs" ]; then suspend_opt="" elif [ -n "$*" ]; then suspend_opt="$*" fi $DMSETUP_PROG suspend $suspend_opt error-test [ $? -ne 0 ] && _fail "dmsetup suspend failed" $DMSETUP_PROG load error-test --table "$DMERROR_TABLE" [ $? -ne 0 ] && _fail "dmsetup failed to load error table" $DMSETUP_PROG resume error-test [ $? -ne 0 ] && _fail "dmsetup resume failed" } _dmerror_load_error_table() use "--nolockfs" by default. But g/475 call _dmerror_load_error_table without any argument, so it doesn't do the things as it describes on comment -- "Loading error table without --nolockfs option". I'm confused, what is your expected test? Is this "--nolockfs" thing cause this error[1]?
