Now that ext4 also has support for block atomic writes, do you think it
appropritate to put it under generic?

Minor: Do we need the _scratch_mount and _scratch_unmount? We can
directly statx the underlying device too, right?

Are we assuming that the SCRATCH_DEV supports atomic writes here? If
not, do you think the idea of checking if the underlying device
supports atomic writes will be appropriate here?
I tried running the test with a loop device (with no atomic writes
support) and this function did not execute _notrun. The test did fail
expectedly with "atomic write min 0, should be fs block size 4096".
However, the test shouldn't have begun or reached this stage if the
underlying device doesn't support atomic writes, right?
Maybe look at how scsi_debug is used? Tests like tests/generic/704 and
common/scsi_debug?

Minor: A refactoring suggestion. Can we put the commands to fetch the
atomic_write_unit_min , atomic_write_unit_max and
atomic_write_segments_max in a function and re-use them? We are using
these commands to get bdev_min_write/bdev_max_write as well, so a
function might make the code look more compact. Some maybe something
like:
_get_at_wr_unit_min()
{
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "statx -r -m $STATX_WRITE_ATOMIC" $1 | grep
atomic_write_unit_min | \
grep -o '[0-9]\+'
}
_get_at_wr_unit_max()
{
$XFS_IO_PROG -c "statx -r -m $STATX_WRITE_ATOMIC" $1 | grep
atomic_write_unit_max | \
grep -o '[0-9]\+'
}
and then,
file_min_write=$(_get_at_wr_unit_min $testfile) and similarly for file_max_write, file_max_segments, bdev_min_write/bdev_max_write

is "$XFS_IO_PROG -dc pwrite -A -D 0 $bsize" $testfile actually making a
pwritev2 syscall?
Let's look at the output below:
(tested with latest master of xfsprogs-dev (commit 90d6da68) on
pagesize and block size 4k (x86_64 vm)
mount /dev/sdc /mnt1/test
touch /mnt1/test/new
strace -f xfs_io -c "pwrite -A -D 0 4096" /mnt1/test/new
<last few lines>
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt1/test/new", O_RDWR) = 3
...
...
pwrite64(3,
"\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\3
15\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315\315"..., 4096,
0) = 4096
newfstatat(1, "", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(0x88, 0x1),
...}, AT_EMPTY_PATH) = 0
write(1, "wrote 4096/4096 bytes at offset "..., 34wrote 4096/4096 bytes
at offset 0
) = 34
write(1, "4 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0001 sec (23.819"..., 644 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0001
sec (23.819 MiB/sec and 6097.5610 ops/sec)
) = 64
exit_group(0)
So the issues are as follows:
1. file /mnt1/test/new is NOT opened with O_DIRECT flag i.e, direct io
mode which is one of the requirements for atomic write (buffered io
doesn't support atomic write, correct me if I am wrong).
2. pwrite64 doesn't take the RWF_ATOMIC flag and hence I think this
write is just a non-atomic write with no stdout output difference as
such.
Also if you look at the function
do_pwrite() in xfsprogs-dev/io/pwrite.c
static ssize_t
do_pwrite(
int fd,
off_t offset,
long long count,
size_t buffer_size,
int pwritev2_flags)
{
if (!vectors)
return pwrite(fd, io_buffer, min(count, buffer_size),
offset);
return do_pwritev(fd, offset, count, pwritev2_flags);
}
it will not call pwritev/pwritev2 unless we have vectors for which you
will need -V parameter with pwrite subcommand of xfs_io.
So I think the correct way to do this would be the following:
bytes_written=$($XFS_IO_PROGS -c "open -d $testfile" -c "pwrite -A -D
-V 1 0 $bsize" | grep wrote | awk -F'[/ ]' '{print $2}').
This also bring us to 2 more test cases that we can add:
a. Atomic write with vec count > 1
$XFS_IO_PROGS -c "open -d $testfile" -c "pwrite -A -D -V 2 0 $bsize"
(This should fail with Invalid argument since currently iovec count is
restricted to 1)
b.
Open a file withOUT O_DIRECT and try to perform an atomic write. This
should fail with Operation not Supported (EOPNOTSUPP). So something
like
$XFS_IO_PROGS -c "open -f $testfile" -c "pwrite -A -V 1 0 $bsize"
3. It is better to use -b $bsize with pwrite else, the write might be
spilitted into multiple atomic writes. For example try the following:
$XFS_IO_PROGS -c "open -fd $testfile" -c "pwrite -A -D -V 1 0 $((
$bsize * 2 ))"
The above is expected to fail as the size of the atomic write is
greater than the limit i.e, 1 block but it will still succeed. Look at
the strace and you will see 2 pwritev2 system calls. However the
following will fail expectedly with -EINVAL:
$XFS_IO_PROGS -c "open -fd $testfile" -c "pwrite -A -D -V 1 -b $((
$bsize * 2 )) 0 $(( $bsize * 2 ))"

Have we covered the scenario where the offset % len != 0 Should fail -
Should fail with Invalid arguments -EINVAL.
Also do you think adding similar tests with raw writes to the
underlying devices bypassing the fs layer will add some value? There
are slight less strict or different rules in the block layer which IMO
worth to be tested. Please let me know your thoughts.

Similar comment before - Refactor this into a function.

Minor: This might fail on some archs(x86_64) if the kernel isn't
compiled without CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to enable block size
greater than 4k on x86_64.
