Thanks for the detailed info. But, in my environment (and my
colleagues', and our real server with DCPMM) these failure cases (you
mentioned above, in dax+non_reflink mode, with same test options) cannot
reproduce.

Here's our test environment info:
- Ruan's env: fedora 36(v6.0-rc1) on kvm,pmem 2x4G:file backended
- Yang's env: fedora 35(v6.1-rc1) on kvm,pmem 2x1G:memmap=1G!1G,1G!2G
- Server's : Ubuntu 20.04(v6.0-rc1) real machine,pmem 2x4G:real DCPMM

(To quickly confirm the difference, I just ran the failed 26 cases you
mentioned above.) Except for generic/471 and generic/519, which failed
even when dax is off, the rest passed.


We don't want fsdax to be truned off. Right now, I think the most
important thing is solving the failed cases in dax+non_reflink mode.
So, firstly, I have to reproduce those failures. Is there any thing
wrong with my test environments? I konw you are using 'memmap=XXG!YYG' to
simulate pmem. So, (to Darrick) could you show me your config of dev
environment and the 'testcloud'(I am guessing it's a server with real
nvdimm just like ours)?


(I just found I only tested on 4G and smaller pmem device. I'll try the
test on 8G pmem)

Thanks,
