Hi folks, These 3 patches address failures I found when testing the XFS DAX functionality. DAX disables delayed allocation on XFS, so the size of the buffer in the write() call determines the size of the allocation that is done. Hence tests that expect a specific extent layout need to do IO in buffers as large as the extent size they expect to be created. The other side of this is that some tests also expect partial writes to occur, which happened as a side effect of buffered writes being broken down into PAGE_SIZE chunks. With DAX, that does not happen - the writes tend to either succeed or fail completely, especially if it is an ENOSPC condition that is ocurring. HEnce these patches address these test assumptions, and now they work correctly and pass on both DAX and non-DAX filesystems. Cheers, Dave. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fstests" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
