I've tried with both the blamed commit: 4b4bb46 (HEAD) dax: clear dirty entry tags on cache flush and with v4.9-rc2. Both pass the test in my setup. Perhaps the variable is the size of your PMEM partitions? # fdisk -l /dev/pmem0 Disk /dev/pmem0: 16 GiB, 17179869184 bytes, 33554432 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xfe50c900 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/pmem0p1 4096 25165823 25161728 12G 83 Linux /dev/pmem0p2 25165824 33550335 8384512 4G 83 Linux What does your setup look like? I'm using the current tip of the LTP tree: 8cc4165 waitid02: define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 Thanks, - Ross
