Different log size, different AG count, no log stripe unit, etc. 297 is using: scratch_mkfs_xfs -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b <dev> And when I add the extra MKFS_OPTIONS in it actually is: # mkfs.xfs -b size=512 -d agcount=16,su=256k,sw=12 -l su=256k,size=2560b <dev> > The reservation size does not changed, both are 70072 bytes: > > [ 230.905092] xfs_calc_mkdir_reservation: res=70072 bytes. And it's not just the calculation that I'm worried about here - it's the actual reservation that ends up in the ticket that matters as that is fed into the code that has triggered the assert. The value in the ticket takes into account log stripe units and other roundings, so it's typically much larger than just the reservation calculation itself... > However, I can always reproducing this issue with > '"MKFS_OPTIONS=-b size=512" ./check 297' as well. Can you check that it also fails on kernels prior to the reservation changes? That will rule out it being a recent regression...
