Turns out the device-mapper-test-suite 'resize_io' issue I was seeing is
just a long lingering race that just got much more likely on my newer
testbed. This fixes what I was seeing:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=dm-4.20&id=f6c367585d0d851349d3a9e607c43e5bea993fa1
But pivoting back to xfstests generic/347: that test was broken from the
start, if it ever _really_ worked it would've been a bug in dm-thinp.
And even after Jens' fix (above) the test still just times out after 60
secs while in out-of-data-space (OODS) mode and gives a false "Passed
all 1 tests".
generic/347 exhausting the thin-pool's data space and then issuing
"sync" will cause IO to hang for 60 secs unless, in parallel, another
process comes along and grows the thin-pool to have more data space.
But even if xfstests' _dmthin_grow function were to be issued in
parallel with another process it'll fail because it uses
_dmthin_reload_table which "dmsetup suspend"s the thin device (that was
just used by XFS to fill the thin-pool) _without_ using the --noflush
flag for "dmsetup suspend". So the thin device will wait forever for
its outstanding IO to finish before generic/347's _dmthin_grow will be
able to resize the thin-pool. Leading to deadlock. Or until the 60
secs (dm_thin_pool.ko "no_space_timeout" modparam default) causes the
thin-pool to switch from OODS "queue IO" to OODS "error IO" mode:

SO generic/347 needs to account for 2 things:
1) issue $XFS_IO_PROG IO in the background with other process(es)
2) in parallel, in main generic/347 shell, run _dmthin_grow but the
"thin" device must be suspended with dmsetup suspend --noflush
Eric Sandeen: can you or someone else xfstests inclined use this info to
fix generic/347 please?
Thanks,
Mike
