Hi all,

It's a bit late, but I ran the latest blktests (git hash: 98dc6ad64c79) with the
v6.18 kernel. I observed 3 failures listed below. Comparing with the previous
report with the v6.18-rc1 kernel [1], 1 failure was fixed (nvme/014,057,058) and
no new other failure was observed.

List of failures
================
#1: nvme/005,063 (tcp transport)
#2: nvme/041 (fc transport)
#3: nbd/002


Failure description
===================

#1: nvme/005,063 (tcp transport)

     The test case nvme/005 and 063 fail for tcp transport due to the lockdep
     WARN related to the three locks q->q_usage_counter, q->elevator_lock and
     set->srcu. Refer to the nvme/063 failure report for v6.16-rc1 kernel [2].

#2: nvme/041 (fc transport)

     The test case nvme/041 fails for fc transport. Refer to the report for the
     v6.12 kernel [3]. Daniel posted the fix patch series [4].

     The test case nbd/002 fails due to the lockdep WARN related to
     mm->mmap_lock, sk_lock-AF_INET6 and fs_reclaim. Refer to the nbd/002 failure
     report for v6.18-rc1 kernel [1].
