Actually, I configured the DAX window to 8MB, i.e. 4 slots when running xfstests. Thus I think the reclaim path is most likely triggered. > > For fun, I sometimes used to run it with a window of just say 16 dax > ranges so that reclaim was so heavy that if there was a bug, it will > show up. > Yeah, my colleague had ever reported that a DAX window of 4KB will cause hang in our internal OS (which is 4.19, we back ported virtiofs to 4.19). But then I found that this issue doesn't exist in the latest upstream. The reason seems that in the upstream kernel, devm_memremap_pages() called in virtio_fs_setup_dax() will fail directly since the dax window (4KB) is not aligned with the sparse memory section. -- Thanks, Jeffle _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
