As it is, I highly recommend that you try a current 4.3 kernel, as there are several code fixes in the XFS kernel code that work around compiler issues we know about. AFAIA, the do_div() asm bug that trips recent gcc optimisations isn't in the upstream kernel yet, but that can be worked around by setting CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y in your build.

Hi dave,

I can confirm that CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y is (was ?) the only way for me to have reliable XFS kernel code on different arm platforms (Marvell kirkwood, Allwinner A20, Amlogic S805), no matter what recent gcc version I've been using.

I must admit I was cross-compiling from X86-64 too, but I think (not sure) that it was also the case with native gcc.

I must also admit that I didn't tried since some months, because CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y was the silver bullet for arm xfs kernel crashes. This crash was difficult to understand because it occurs quite randomly (I.e it can take several hours to trigger)

If there's a patch floating around for gcc (or kernel), I'm interested to test.

Cheers,
