Re: ext4 filesystem corruption with 4.10-rc2 on ppc64le

Hi Ted,

Anton or Chandan, could you do me a favor and verify whether or not
64k block sizes are working for you on ppcle on ext4 by running
xfstests?  Light duty testing works for me but when I stress ext4 with
pagesize==blocksize on ppcle64 via xfstests, it blows up.  I suspect
(but am not sure) it's due to (non-upstream) device driver issues, and
a verification that you can run xfstests on your ppcle64 systems using
standard upstream device drivers would be very helpful, since I don't
have easy console access on the machines I have access to at
$WORK.  :-(

I fired off an xfstests run, and it looks good. There are 3 failures,
but they seem to be setup issues on my part. I also double checked
those same three failed on 4.8.

Chandan has been running the test suite regularly, and plans to do a
run against mainline too.

Anton
