Hi Kent,

I'm going to try and reproduce it myself as well. I just used 
IOMeter in a
Windows DomU with 30 workers, each having an io depth of 256. A 
*very*
heavy workload indeed, but my point was to see if I could break 
something.
Unless the issue is specific to windows causing problems (NTFS or 
whatever),
I'm guessing running fio with 30 jobs and an iodepth of 256 would 
probably
produce a similar load.

BTW, do you have access to a Xen node for testing?

Does the problem resolve itself after you shut down the windows 
DomU?
Or only when you reboot the whole Dom0?

Hi There,

I managed to reproduce this again. I have to reboot the entire Dom0
(the physical server) for it to work properly again.

James, are you able to reproduce this? Kent, are there any other
tests/debug output you need from me?

BTW, I was using IOMeter's 'default' Access Specification with the 
following modifications: 100% random, 66% read, 33% write, and a 2kB 
size. My bcache is formatted for 512bytes.
