Ooh, I didn't add this 'ext4_pmem_4k' section goodness, and it's not present
in the xfstests/master that I was using.  Do you have patches to add that?

Your memmap params look fine.  I tested with BRD and PMEM, and with EXT4 and
XFS, and all combinations failed for me as expected with v4.11-rc8.

One issue could have been that the test file already existed when the test was
run.  I wasn't removing it between runs earlier, but I've fixed that for v2.

Another issue I guess could have been that the hole that we got back from the
filesystem was smaller than 2MiB?  Can you try running v2 (which I'll post in
a second) against a TEST_DEV made with one of the following:

ext4: mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -E stride=512 -F $TEST_DEV
xfs:  mkfs.xfs -f -d su=2m,sw=1 $TEST_DEV

This helps us get 2MiB sized and aligned allocations so we can fault in PMDs,
but I'm not sure whether or not it would matter for holes.

Ah, thanks, fixed in v2.

Yep, agreed, fixed in v2.

Nope, just cargo-culting my way through my first xfstest. :)  I've removed
this for v2.
