I applied just the patch myself and Ewan isolated to the 4.7.9 kernel and the issue is resolved for me. I have 100000 loops of the test with no issue. I repeated the test flushing cache each time as well to make sure for i in `seq 1 100000`; do ./sg_mmap_read -d /dev/sg1 -l 0 -m -b | hexdump | grep 6300; done for i in `seq 1 100000`; do ./sg_mmap_read -d /dev/sg1 -l 0 -m -b | hexdump | grep 6300; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches;done Johannes, you are reproducing another race in your test I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
