Hi, I am seeing a slowpath warning when running some raid5 tests over loop devices. I haven't seen it yet when using physical disk, so it may be related to the loop driver. This is against Linus' tree at 211b0cdc7dc574e5e756bdf1cc2f4a16b7f6e07e Anyone else who have seen this before I dig further at it?
