Hi all,
I ran the latest blktests (git hash: 3f75e6241f6b) with v6.6 kernel, and obseved
four failures below. They are all known for months.
As for the two other failures observed with v6.6-rc1 kernel [1], they are no
longer observed with v6.6 kernel. Good.

List of failures
================
#1: block/011
#2: nvme/003 (fabrics transport)
#3: nvme/* (fc transport)
#4: srp/002, 011 (rdma_rxe driver)
Failure description
===================
#1: block/011
The test case fails with NVME devices due to lockdep WARNING "possible
circular locking dependency detected". Reported in Sep/2022 [2]. In LSF
2023, it was noted that this failure should be fixed.
Also, it was found recently that this test case still causes failure of
following tests. Fix work is ongoing [3].

#2: nvme/003 (fabrics transport)
When nvme test group is run with trtype=rdma or tcp, the test case fails
due to lockdep WARNING "possible circular locking dependency detected".
Reported in May/2023. Fix discussions were held [4][5].

#3: nvme/* (fc transport)
With trtype=fc configuration, test run on nvme test group hangs. Daniel is
driving fix work.
#4: srp/002, 011 (rdma_rxe driver)
Test process hang is observed occasionally. Reported to the relevant mailing
lists in Aug/2023 [6]. Blktests was modified to change default driver from
rdma_rxe to siw to avoid impacts on blktests users. Root cause is not yet
understood. Bob and Bart have spent time to chase it down (Thank you).
