Darrick,

I started running the dangerous_scrub group yersterday and it's killing my
test machine. The test machine is x86_64 (i5-3470) 16GB RAM
and test partitions are 100GB volume on spinning disk.

xfs_db swaps my system to death and most of the tests it eventually
gets shot down by oom killer.

Is that surprising to you? How much RAM does you test systems have?
Can you figure out a minimal RAM requirement to run these fuzzers
and maybe check required RAM before running the test?

Alternatively, can you figure out how to reduce the amount of RAM
used by the fuzzer?

I was using mkfs options "-m rmapbt=1,reflink=1"
and I tried running with and then without TEST_XFS_SCRUB=1.
I don't see a reason to send the logs at this point, they are just a complete
mass of destruction.

Let me know if you need more inputs from me.

Amir.
