Hi, We're seeing a regression triggered by the stress-ng[*] "chdir" test that I've bisected to: 044e6e3d74a3 ext4: don't update checksum of new initialized bitmaps So far we've only seen failures on servers based on HiSilicon's family of ARM64 SoCs (D05/Hi1616 SoC, D06/Hi1620 SoC). On these systems it is very reproducible. = Test Case = #!/bin/sh umount /tmp/mnt || /bin/true mkdir -p /tmp/mnt mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/mnt # Running directly under /tmp/mnt doesn't trigger the issue, we need # this subdirectory for some reason dir="/tmp/mnt/tmp/disk_stress_ng_f70f0f26-b332-4c48-9e07-67c529770e3d" mkdir -p "$dir" stress-ng --aggressive --verify --timeout 240 --temp-path "$dir" \ --chdir 0 --hdd-opts dsync --readahead-bytes 16M -k = Result = [70586.263840] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
