My config file has direct=0, which until 2.1.4 worked as expected.
Things seem to regress since.
I apologize in advance if this has already been reported. Please
let me know what I can do to further help (truss/debug).
This isn't a known issue, so thanks for reporting it. The easiest way to debug
this is to git bisect it. Looks like you are running from the tar balls, but I
assume you have git installed? I'm assuming fio-2.1.3 worked for you - if not,
just replace fio-2.1.3 in the below with whatever latest version did work. If
you do, the cheat sheet is something ala:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio
$ cd fio; make
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect good fio-2.1.3
$ git bisect bad fio-2.1.4
This starts the bisect series, now do:
$ make clean; make
and re-run your direct=0 job file. If it worked, then you do
$ git bisect good
and if not, you do git bisect bad instead. This gets you a new point in the
tree to test, so repeat the make clean; make and re-run the test.
Keep doing this good/bad iteration until fio tells you what commit broke the
test for you. Then send those results here!

Here’s where it started working again:
# git bisect good
Bisecting: 4 revisions left to test after this (roughly 2 steps)
[3bb0a7b0fda9945973f799ab253c70d3cb0e5c8b] howto: Fix redundant entries
Let me know how else I can help.
Please keep going until it tells you what the definitively bad commit is. It'll
end up spitting out that info, if you keep doing git bisect good/bad on each
test point. You need just ~2 more tests after this one.

ppc: disable CPU clock until we can detect whether we have it or not
The child segfault test should catch it, however it does not on
AIX at least.

Hmm, that can’t possibly be correct. Would you mind redoing the bisection,
just to double check?
Thanks!

Ok. Let’s try this again. Silly user, me.
# git bisect good

Apparently some Solaris' require this for threadsafe

I have the complete git/bisect session in a screen log if you’d like it.
That makes a lot more sense! Can you do:
$ git checkout -f master
$ git revert 7cb024f89dbbc314e740885afccd9a05da056cf1
$ make clean; make
and retest just to be on the safe side? Also, please attach the job file you
are using.

Actually, based on the git bisect work, I took out -D_REENTRANT from configure,
> and fio-2.1.6 now works as expected. Still want the job file?
I do, since the direct part makes little sense to me, if you have
direct=0 set.
