I've been trying to clear various failing or flaky tests, and in that
context I've been finding that generic/269 is failing with a
probability of ~5% on a wide variety of test scenarios on ext4, xfs,
btrfs, and f2fs on 6.10-rc2 and on fs-next. (See below for the
details; the failure probability ranges from 1% to 10% depending on
the test config.)
What generic/269 does is to run fsstress and ENOSPC hitters in
parallel, and checks to make sure the file system is consistent at the
end of the tests. Failure is caused by the umount of the file system
failing with EBUSY. I've tried adding a sync and a "sync -f
$SCRATCH_MNT" before the attempted _scratch_umount, and that doesn't
seem to change the failure.
However, on a failure, if you sleep for 10 seconds, and then retry the
unmount, this seems to make the proble go away. This is despite the
fact that we do wait for the fstress process to exit --- I vaguely
recall that there is some kind of RCU failure which means that the
umount will not reliably succeed under some circumstances. Do we
think this is the right fix?
(Note: when I tried shortening the sleep 10 to sleep 1, the problem
came back; so this seems like a real hack. Thoughts?)
Thanks,
