[PATCH v2 3/4] fsx: support eof page pollution for eof zeroing test coverage

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



File ranges that are newly exposed via size changing operations are
expected to return zeroes until written to. This behavior tends to
be difficult to regression test as failures can be racy and
transient. fsx is probably the best tool for this type of test
coverage, but uncovering issues can require running for a
significantly longer period of time than is typically invoked
through fstests tests. As a result, these types of regressions tend
to go unnoticed for an unfortunate amount of time.

To facilitate uncovering these problems more quickly, implement an
eof pollution mode in fsx that opportunistically injects post-eof
data prior to operations that change file size. Since data injection
occurs immediately before the size changing operation, it can be
used to detect problems in partial eof page/block zeroing associated
with each relevant operation.

The implementation takes advantage of the fact that mapped writes
can place data beyond eof so long as the page starts within eof. The
main reason for the isolated per-operation approach (vs. something
like allowing mapped writes to write beyond eof, for example) is to
accommodate the fact that writeback zeroes post-eof data on the eof
page. The current approach is therefore not necessarily guaranteed
to detect all problems, but provides more generic and broad test
coverage than the alternative of testing explicit command sequences
and doesn't require significant changes to how fsx works. If this
proves useful long term, further enhancements can be considered that
might facilitate the presence of post-eof data across operations.

Enable the feature with the -e command line option. It is disabled
by default because zeroing behavior is inconsistent across
filesystems. This can also be revisited in the future if zeroing
behavior is refined for the major filesystems that rely on fstests
for regression testing.
