The UT will trigger if the amount of writes isn't very high - if you go above 4 queued writes, a regular unplug will trigger. So if you see if for write intensive workloads, it is almost surely a bug. For background firefox activity on your desktop, it's not unusual. If you see if for reads, it's almost always a bug. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrace" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
