Hello Bart,
Recently, I built a new blktests trial environment on QEMU. With this
environment, I observe scsi/007 failure. FYI, let me share blktests output [1]
and kernel message [2].
I found the failure depends on kernel configs for debug such as KASAN. When I
enable KASAN, the test case fails. When I disable KASAN, the test case passes.
It looks that the failure depends on the slow kernel (and/or slow machine).
The test case sets 1 second to the block layer timeout to trigger the SCSI error
handler. It also sets 3 seconds to scsi_debug delay assuming the error handler
completes before the 3 seconds. From the kernel message, it looks that the error
handler takes longer than the 3 seconds delay, so I/O completes as success
before the error handler completion. This I/O success is not expected then the
test case fails. As a trial, I extended the scsi_debug delay time to 10 seconds,
then I observed the test case passes.
Do you expect the I/O success by slow SCSI error handler? If so, the test case
needs improvement by extending the scsi_debug delay time.
