Took me some time to resolve the rejects, but now 5.3.11 and 5.3.12 work like a charm. While trying to track down the patches, I found your reply here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1762596 I ended up applying: f8f9ee479439 xfs: add kmem_alloc_io() d916275aa4dd xfs: get allocation alignment from the buftarg 0ad95687c3ad xfs: add kmem allocation trace points And I don't know why at the time (I was sleepy), I ended up applying this one too: xfs: assure zeroed memory buffers for certain kmem allocations I had to remove the second argument to kmem_alloc_io when applying this last one, as kmem_alloc_io had two arguments in the 5.3.12 tree + those 3 patches above, instead of three arguments in the actual patch: return kmem_alloc_io(BBTOB(nbblks), align_mask, KM_MAYFAIL | KM_ZERO); return kmem_alloc_io(BBTOB(nbblks), KM_MAYFAIL | KM_ZERO); Do you think it's safe to keep these 4 patches on top of the 5.3.12 tree? So far it all looks fine, filesystems mount and work fine. Regards, Pedro
