We discussed this regression on today's conference call, and I noted that that I thought it was something that had been introduced in new bug/regresion fix commits that are in the dev branch but not yet in Linus's tree. This turns out to be incorrect. I went back through my testing logs, and from what I can tell, the warning message in question[1] was not present in 3.8, but was present in the xfstests auto run which I did (using the standard mount options and 4k block size on test #127) with a commit which corresponds to the upstream commit id 1231b3a1eb5 So it is a regression, but it's not a regression caused by the most recent set of changes which we have been testing/validating. I missed it because my get-results scripts doesn't show me warning messages (something which I need to fix for the next development cycle). - Ted [1] 127 2431s ...[12774.037351] EXT4-fs warning (device vdb): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:360: ino 1133, allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1 blocks with reserved 16 data blocks) [12774.041006] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [12774.042175] WARNING: at /tyt/linux/ext4/fs/ext4/inode.c:361 ext4_da_update_reserve_space+0xdf/0x1e0() [12774.044166] Hardware name: Bochs [12774.044882] Modules linked in: [12774.045685] Pid: 24352, comm: fsx Tainted: G W 3.8.0-rc3-00064-ge759417 #35 [12774.047371] Call Trace: [12774.047914] [<c015c534>] warn_slowpath_common+0x68/0x7d [12774.049138] [<c02759c2>] ? ext4_da_update_reserve_space+0xdf/0x1e0 [12774.050360] [<c015c55d>] warn_slowpath_null+0x14/0x18 [12774.051022] [<c02759c2>] ext4_da_update_reserve_space+0xdf/0x1e0 [12774.051807] [<c0297edb>] ext4_ext_map_blocks+0x12b4/0x13a9 [12774.052581] [<c0199693>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [12774.053233] [<c019ba23>] ? __lock_acquire+0x534/0xc07 [12774.053893] [<c0182bc3>] ? sched_clock_cpu+0x112/0x122 [12774.054570] [<c0199693>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0xb/0xd [12774.055236] [<c019a8b3>] ? lock_acquired+0x1d2/0x1da [12774.055944] [<c0275cd5>] ext4_map_blocks+0x212/0x344 [12774.056589] [<c0278bef>] mpage_da_map_and_submit+0x94/0x3eb [12774.057323] [<c01e0c8f>] ? rcu_read_unlock+0x17/0x19 [12774.057972] [<c01e0d5f>] ? find_get_pages_tag+0xce/0xed [12774.058658] [<c027903a>] write_cache_pages_da+0xf4/0x31f [12774.059412] [<c02794c0>] ext4_da_writepages+0x25b/0x3c3 [12774.060140] [<c01e85d4>] do_writepages+0x23/0x2d [12774.060754] [<c01e1d85>] __filemap_fdatawrite_range+0x5a/0x62 [12774.061506] [<c01e1db8>] filemap_write_and_wait_range+0x2b/0x58 [12774.062346] [<c0272027>] ext4_sync_file+0x7f/0x2c0 [12774.062975] [<c0182c05>] ? local_clock+0x32/0x49 [12774.063593] [<c022d756>] vfs_fsync_range+0x36/0x41 [12774.064228] [<c0271fa8>] ? ext4_file_write+0x42c/0x42c [12774.064902] [<c022d77a>] vfs_fsync+0x19/0x1b [12774.065526] [<c01ffb20>] sys_msync+0xec/0x154 [12774.066093] [<c080e1d0>] ? __do_page_fault+0x346/0x346 [12774.066767] [<c080b6c8>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb [12774.067348] [<c0800000>] ? acpi_processor_add+0x182/0x3e8 [12774.068059] ---[ end trace c26cb86224ce73de ]--- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
