Very interestingly, I have reproduced the problem one time with ext4/271 ext4/301 ext4/305, but won't with the attached patch after running it for 3 rounds. [tom@localhost xfstests]$ sudo ./check ext4/271 ext4/301 ext4/305 FSTYP -- ext4 PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 localhost 3.15.0-rc7-next-20140527+ MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/vdc MOUNT_OPTIONS -- -o acl,user_xattr /dev/vdc /mnt/scratch ext4/271 1s ... 1s ext4/301 31s ... 32s ext4/305 181s ... 180s Ran: ext4/271 ext4/301 ext4/305 Passed all 3 tests Jet, could you test the attached patch?
