I'd appreciate your > input on whether we're headed in the right direction, or maybe not. I am sorry, Daniel, but I see this series as misdirected effort. We do not want to add overhead to tmpfs and the kernel, just to pass two tests which were (very reasonably) written for fixed block size, before the huge page possibility ever came in. If one opts for transparent huge pages in the filesystem, then of course the dividing line between hole and data becomes more elastic than before. It would be a serious bug if lseek ever reported an area of non-0 data as in a hole; but I don't think that is what generic/285 or generic/436 find. Beyond that, "man 2 lseek" is very forgiving of filesystem implementation. I'll send you my stack of xfstests patches (which, as usual, I cannot afford the time now to re-review and post): there are several tweaks to seek_sanity_test in there for tmpfs huge pages, along with other fixes for tmpfs (and some fixes to suit an old 32-bit build environment). With those tweaks, generic/285 and generic/436 and others (but not all) have been passing on huge tmpfs for several years. If you see something you'd like to add your name to in that stack, or can improve upon, please go ahead and post to the fstests list (Cc me).
