New subject: read failure (was Re: mmap dio write failure)

Thursday, 19 January 2017

Hi,

At first, I am not sure whether this is an issue.

mmap a file in a DAX mountpoint, open another file
in a non-DAX mountpoint with O_DIRECT, write the
mapped area to the other file.

This write Success on pmem ramdisk(memmap=2G!20G like)
This write Fail(Bad address) on nvdimm pmem devices.
This write Fail(Bad address) on brd based ramdisk.

If we skip the O_DIRECT flag, all tests pass.

If we write from DAX to DAX, all tests pass.
If we write from non-DAX to DAX, all tests pass.

Kernel version: Linus tree commit 44b4b46.

I have checked back to v4.6 testing on nvdimm devices,
all the same results. I do remember that this test
passed on nvdimms back to May 2016 and i have some
notes for that. However things changed a lot, test
scripts, kernel code, even the nvdimm and machine
firmweare.

Thanks,
Xiong
