[PATCH] generic/563: use a loop device to avoid partition incompatibility

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



cgroup writeback accounting does not track partition level
statistics. Instead, I/O is accounted against the parent device. As
a result, the test fails if the scratch device happens to be a
device partition. Since parent level stats are potentially polluted
by factors external to the test, wrap the scratch device in a
loopback device to guarantee the test always runs on a top-level
block device.
