Hi, ltp/access04 always panic the latest mainstream kernel-4.12-rc4 on ppc64le. From the calltrace I guess the reason is probably that the tests mount ext2 file system using ext4 driver. A simple way to reproduce: # dd of=wangli if=/dev/zero count=1024 bs=1024 # mkfs -t ext2 wangli # mount -t ext4 wangli /mnt/ Are there any new changes in ext4 (on kernel-4.12-rc4) recently?
