Public bug reported: e.g. here is how I was running it:
fio --loops=1 --direct=1 --rw=write --ioengine=libaio --bs=4K --iodepth=16 --numjobs=1 --time_based --runtime=10 --group_reporting --size=10% --offset=10% --name=TEST --filename=/dev/nvme0n1 I built the 3.17 source and the problem didn't happen. If you can't bump the universe version to 3.21 or 3.17 and need a patch for 3.16, I can make one for you if necessary.
