In vm:
download and build fsmark from here:

download and install xfsprogs v3.2.1 from here:

Setup up the target filesystem:
# mkfs.xfs -f -m "crc=1,finobt=1" /dev/vda
# mount -o logbsize=262144,nobarrier /dev/vda /mnt/scratch
Run:

If you've got everything set up right, that should run at around
200-250,000 file creates/s. When finished, unmount and run:
# xfs_repair -o bhash=500000 /dev/vda
And that should spend quite a long while pounding on the mmap_sem
until the the userspace buffer cache stops growing.
I just ran the above on 3.16, saw this from perf:

Thank for the testing recipe. I am afraid that I can't find a 500TB SSD
for testing purpose. Do you think the test will still be valid for
exercising rwsem if I use a smaller SSD or maybe mechanical hard disk?
