Thanks for the detailed info.  But, in my environment (and my 
colleagues', and our real server with DCPMM) these failure cases (you 
mentioned above, in dax+non_reflink mode, with same test options) cannot 
reproduce.

Here's our test environment info:
  - Ruan's env: fedora 36(v6.0-rc1) on kvm,pmem 2x4G:file backended
  - Yang's env: fedora 35(v6.1-rc1) on kvm,pmem 2x1G:memmap=1G!1G,1G!2G
  - Server's  : Ubuntu 20.04(v6.0-rc1) real machine,pmem 2x4G:real DCPMM

(To quickly confirm the difference, I just ran the failed 26 cases you 
mentioned above.)  Except for generic/471 and generic/519, which failed 
even when dax is off, the rest passed.


We don't want fsdax to be truned off.  Right now, I think the most 
important thing is solving the failed cases in dax+non_reflink mode. 
So, firstly, I have to reproduce those failures.  Is there any thing 
wrong with my test environments?  I konw you are using 'memmap=XXG!YYG' to 
simulate pmem.  So, (to Darrick) could you show me your config of dev 
environment and the 'testcloud'(I am guessing it's a server with real 
nvdimm just like ours)?


(I just found I only tested on 4G and smaller pmem device.  I'll try the 
test on 8G pmem)

Thanks,
