Hi all, I hit this WARN_ON in 3.8 kernel and dev branch. The WARN_ON is hard to be triggerred because I run test case 8 times to hit it. Here is the messages from dmesg. *One Big Note* Although we get the warning message, the test can pass. wenqing: run xfstest 247 kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel: WARNING: at
