Hmm that is interesting. I am not sure how writeback_fid can be related. We use writeback fid to enable client side caching with 9p (cache=loose). We use this fid to write back dirty pages later. Can you share the qemu command line used, 9p mount options and the test details ? -aneesh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
