[PATCH 05/16] generic: remove the generic/125 test

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



Dave Chinner has pointed out this test is largely pointless:

   Perhaps one should question whether generic/125 is actually testing
   anything useful in the first place.

   i.e. it's writing 16k, then truncating it back to 1000 bytes, then
   reading it with direct IO for 60s to see if it returns the correct
   data for that entire time.

   What, exactly, is going to cause that test to fail?

   Keep in mind this was ported from a CXFS test, where the metadata
   server did the truncation operation (including the data zeroing),
   but the reads are being done from the client.  i.e. it was designed
   to test whether a remote machine is doing a truncate correctly on a
   access shared disk.

   IMO, I think we just remove the test, src/trunc.c and src/ftrunc.c
   because it's 60s of testing that doesn't actually provide any value
   to us.
