I catch this following error from dmesg when this testcase fails.

[17446.661127] Buffer I/O error on dev sdb1, logical block 64, async page read

We expect to inject disk IO errors on the device when xfs_io reads the
specific file, but other processes may trigger IO error earlier. So, we
can use task-filter to solve this problem.

This looks OK to me. Does btrfs/143 need a similar fix?

Thanks,
Eryu

Although btrfs/143 has a similar problem, this method doesn't work for it.
Unlike btrfs/142, the second IO error needs to be triggered by another process,
not by xfs_io. So we can't simply set task-filter to solve this problem.

I'm still investigating a way to solve the problem.

Do you have any ideas?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
