Hello Bart, Recently, I built a new blktests trial environment on QEMU. With this environment, I observe scsi/007 failure. FYI, let me share blktests output [1] and kernel message [2]. I found the failure depends on kernel configs for debug such as KASAN. When I enable KASAN, the test case fails. When I disable KASAN, the test case passes. It looks that the failure depends on the slow kernel (and/or slow machine). The test case sets 1 second to the block layer timeout to trigger the SCSI error handler. It also sets 3 seconds to scsi_debug delay assuming the error handler completes before the 3 seconds. From the kernel message, it looks that the error handler takes longer than the 3 seconds delay, so I/O completes as success before the error handler completion. This I/O success is not expected then the test case fails. As a trial, I extended the scsi_debug delay time to 10 seconds, then I observed the test case passes. Do you expect the I/O success by slow SCSI error handler? If so, the test case needs improvement by extending the scsi_debug delay time.
