I'm also unable to reproduce this issue.  I've tried with both the blamed
commit:

4b4bb46 (HEAD) dax: clear dirty entry tags on cache flush

and with v4.9-rc2.  Both pass the test in my setup.

Perhaps the variable is the size of your PMEM partitions?

# fdisk -l /dev/pmem0
Disk /dev/pmem0: 16 GiB, 17179869184 bytes, 33554432 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xfe50c900

Device       Boot    Start      End  Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/pmem0p1          4096 25165823 25161728  12G 83 Linux
/dev/pmem0p2      25165824 33550335  8384512   4G 83 Linux

What does your setup look like?

I'm using the current tip of the LTP tree:

8cc4165  waitid02: define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500
