So this failure makes no sense to me. Looking at the kmesg failure
logs, it's failing in the md layer:
kern :info : [ 99.775514] md/raid1:md0: not clean -- starting background

The referenced commit just turns block bitmap prefetching in ext4.
This should not cause md to failure; if so, that's an md bug, not an
ext4 bug. There should not be anything that the file system is doing
that would cause the kernel to think there is a disk failure.
By the way, the reproduction instructions aren't working currently:

This fails because lkp is trying to apply a patch which does not apply
with the current version of the md tools.
Hi Ted,
Thanks for the feedback, yes, there's patch already be merged into mdadm,
we have removed it from our code.
> bin/lkp split-job --compatible job.yaml
> bin/lkp run compatible-job.yaml
And the current versions lkp don't generate a compatible-job.yaml file
when you run "lkp split-job --compatable"; instead it generates a new
yaml file with a set of random characters to generate a unique name.
(What Multics parlance would be called a "shriek name"[1] :-)
We have updated the steps to avoid misunderstanding.
Since I was having trouble running the reproduction; could you send
the /var/tmp/*fail.logs so we could have a bit more insight what is
going on?
I attached the log file for your reference,
btw the test is from
https://github.com/neilbrown/mdadm/blob/master/tests/01r1fail,
you may want to run it directly.
Best Regards,
Rong Chen
Thanks!
