Hi Ted -

We discussed the ENOSPC warnings from ext4_ext_map_blocks() in a concall a
couple of weeks ago.  They were visible in my testing both before and after
my patch on both x86-64 and ARM, and are very reproducible.  I don't believe
they're directly related to the block validity problem, although they appeared
simultaneously with it after commit a115f749c1.  In the concall, you
mentioned you were going to take a look, so I set them aside to look at a few
other problems. I'd be happy to pick that up again if you'd like - just let
me know.

(It's unclear whether it's relevant, but I'll note that I'm getting warnings
from the extent status tree debugging code (ES_AGGRESSIVE_TEST) even after my
patch when running generic/299 nojournal - an item I've made a note to come
back to.)

The 299 test failure you're seeing could be due to the version of fio you're
running.  I don't recall all the details, but when upgrading my test
environment in preparation for 3.14 I found that the current version of fio
at the time would fail.  I chose to stay with what worked for my 3.13 runs -
fio-2.1.4-8-g3e26 (commit 3e260a46ea).  It might be worth trying that to see
if you get a clean run.

I've not seen that softlockup warning on x86-64 or ARM on the 1K or any other
test case (nor any softlockup warnings at all in 3.14 through -rc3).  Also, it
did not appear during the full xfstests runs of my patch on x86-64 and ARM
prior to posting.

That's the kind of warning I'd hope to see when running generic/208 and the
umount happens late.  Unfortunately, not.

Thanks,
Eric
