Description

This issue was created by maloo for Nathaniel Clark <[e-mail]>

This issue relates to the following test suite run: http://maloo.whamcloud.com/test_sets/ae12d972-092d-11e3-b004-52540035b04c.

The sub-test test_86 failed with the following error:

test_86 failed with 5

Info required for matching: replay-single 86

The test is called "replay-single test 86: umount server after clear nid_stats should not hit LBUG" so it looks like we unmount server before config file is processed.

There is now at least one counterexample to the connection of this bug to zfs. At least 1 recent failure was seen in a review run: https://maloo.whamcloud.com/test_sets/5df51836-132a-11e3-8c44-52540035b04c

Still happens a lot more with zfs.

Since evidence suggests LU-3155 was the cause of this problem we need the author to comment.

[Bob Glossman (Inactive)]

Surveying all the instances the latest common parent is the commit for LU-3155. That is the same one Andreas called out as suspicious in his comment. Evidence is stacking up that it's the cause.

[Bob Glossman (Inactive)]

Another fact; haven't been any instances seen at all since 8/19. wondering if the problem may have been fixed by a more recent commit.

[Bob Glossman (Inactive)]

A couple of key features seen in all the instances found:
1) only seen in review-zfs test runs, not any in review
2) test_86 failure isn't the first failed test in replay-single. Always follows other failures, not always the same ones. subtests in test_58 and test_85 are most common.

based on 1) we might want to get a zfs expert looking at this.

I am continuing to try to narrow it down.

Could you please look into this one?

Thanks

It looks like this test only started failing regularly on July 31st (only 4 failures ever before then, maybe once every few months), and has failed fairly consistently since then (40 failures in 21 days), so it is almost certainly a regression landed on 2013-07-31.

The patch in LU-3155 http://review.whamcloud.com/6025 would be a prime culprit, since it is one of the major changes to configuration that was landed at that time. It would be worthwhile to look through the test failures and find the latest commit that is common to all of them.

The below query finds all of the test_86 failures, then each one needs to go to the main "replay-single" test log, then the specific git commit hash for that test needs to be used to find the "parent" on which the patch was based. The latest common parent among all the failures (excepting possibly the failing patch itself) is the likely source of the regression.
