From: Tomohiro Kusumi <tkusumi@xxxxxxxxxx> 8c43ba62('filesetup: align layout buffer') and 6e344dc3('filesetup: keep OS_O_DIRECT flag when pre-allocating file') need to keep the valid transfer size throughout the entire writes. The write(2) size may be truncated on the last write and break the dio requirement. This results in td_verror() in the output. -- # mount | grep " on / " /dev/mapper/fedora-root on / type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota) # ./fio --name=xxx --kb_base=1000 --ioengine=sync --rw=read --bs=4KiB --size=10MiB --unlink=1 --direct=1 | grep "err=" xxx: (groupid=0, jobs=1): err= 0: pid=3526: Mon Sep 4 18:03:57 2017 # ./fio --name=xxx --kb_base=1000 --ioengine=sync --rw=read --bs=4KiB --size=10MB --unlink=1 --direct=1 | grep "err=" fio: pid=3538, err=22/file:filesetup.c:238, func=write, error=Invalid argument xxx: (groupid=0, jobs=1): err=22 (file:filesetup.c:238, func=write, error=Invalid argument): pid=3538: Mon Sep 4 18:04:04 2017 Signed-off-by: Tomohiro Kusumi <tkusumi@xxxxxxxxxx> --- filesetup.c | 13 ++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/filesetup.c b/filesetup.c index 5e8ea35..42d95db 100644 --- a/filesetup.c +++ b/filesetup.c @@ -112,6 +112,7 @@ static int extend_file(struct thread_data *td, struct fio_file *f) unsigned long long left; unsigned int bs, alloc_size = 0; char *b = NULL; + bool done = false; if (read_only) { log_err("fio: refusing extend of file due to read-only\n"); @@ -211,11 +212,15 @@ static int extend_file(struct thread_data *td, struct fio_file *f) goto err; } - while (left && !td->terminate) { + while (!done && !td->terminate) { ssize_t r; - if (bs > left) - bs = left; + /* If bs >= left this is the last write */ + if (bs > left) { + done = true; + if (!td->o.odirect) + bs = left; + } fill_io_buffer(td, b, bs, bs); @@ -223,6 +228,8 @@ static int extend_file(struct thread_data *td, struct fio_file *f) if (r > 0) { left -= r; + if (!left) + done = true; continue; } else { if (r < 0) { -- 2.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
