During my 4.10-rc1 and 4.10-rc2 regression runs with the latest xfstests-bld test appliance, generic/383 triggered a lockdep warning in the 4k test case, resulting in a test failure. The warning is attached below. I've not seen this particular failure in regression runs prior to 4.10-rc1. No generic/383 failures occurred in any other test appliance test case during regression. This failure is difficult to reproduce when the test is run alone rather than as part of the full sequence of tests run for the 4k test case. When run in isolation, it failed in 1 out of 100 trials. However, it's occurred each time I've run the entire 4k test case - 5 out of 5 trials. Eric generic/383 2s ...
