It is a good idea. In fact, we already have a verification layer which was implemented as a device mapper sub-module. I think it is enough for a read-only filesystem because it is simple, flexible and independent(we can modify the filesystem layout without verification module modification). >> >> Actually, compared with XFS, EROFS has rather simple on-disk format. >> What we inject one time is quite deterministic. >> >> The first step just purposely writes some random fuzzed data to >> the base inode metadata, compressed indexes, or dir data field >> (one round one field) to make it validity and coverability. >> >>> >>> You might want to write such a debugging tool for erofs so that you can >>> take apart crashed images to get a better idea of what went wrong, and >>> to write easy fuzzing tests. >> >> Yes, we will do such a debugging tool of course.

Agree, Xiang and I have no time to developing this feature now, we are glad very much if you could help us to do it ;) Thanks Miao > > Thanks, > Qu >> >> Thanks, >> Gao Xiang >> >>> >>> --D >>> >>>> umount mntdir >>>> mount -t erofs -o loop testdir_fsl.fuzz.img mntdir >>>> for j in `find mntdir -type f`; do >>>> md5sum $j > /dev/null >>>> done >>>> done >>>> >>>> Thanks, >>>> Gao Xiang >>>> >>>>> >>>>> Thanks, >>>>> Gao Xiang >>>>> >
