Subjectsync issues in 4.3-rc1?
Message-ID<qa71g-8fE-25@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi,

I observe a problem in 4.3-rc1 which looks like there are issues with
sync - it does not really sync all.

It is Firday night here, and I am dropping a quick report, I did not
spend much time investigating it.

Symptoms:

1. I Run v4.3-rc1 + Fedora 22, most FC22 services disabled, no GUI, 
minimal FC22 system, quite silent.
2. I copy a directory with a bunch of files, let's call it "dir". In 
my case this is just the kernel modules tree (produces with 'make 
modules_install').
3. Run 'halt' or 'poweroff'
4. After the system boots up, very often, but not always, "dir" is 
corrupted.

I did not do strict verification, but corruption seems to be that
files are there, but some are corrupted. I checked one file - xfs.ko -
it starts with a bunch of zero bytes, while the original does not
start with zeroes.

I've done this quick test - run the following short shell script with
4.3-rc1 and in 4.2 and get different results. The system is otherwise
the same just kernel is different.






$ while true; do rm -rf ~/4.3.0-rc1/; cp -r /usr/lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1
~/ && sync && grep Dirty /proc/meminfo; done 

I get 0's more consistently in case of v4.2. It does not necessary mean
anything, but looks suspicious.

Here are the numbers.
