[PATCH 0/4] Assorted overlay test fixes

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

 



Eryu,

These assorted fixes improve test-ability with different overlay
mount option configurtions.

The first 2 patches don't fix any known issue, but they fix correctness
of the tests.

Patch 3 prepares the tests to work correctly with nfs_export=on, which
is now on Miklos' overlayfs-next branch. It shouldn't change behavior for
tests running on kernel without nfs_export.

First 3 patches may have trivial conflicts with Zhangyi's patch ("[5/5]
overlay: correct scratch dirs check").

Patch 4 fixes overlay/017 for the default redirect_dir=off configuration.

I believe there has been a miscommunication between us w.r.t overlay/017.
I guess it always fails in your tests and you thought that was expected.
Actually, since commit 0d84683 ("overlay/017: Remove constant
st_ino/d_ino test for hardlinks") the test was expected to pass with
default upstream configuration, but I missed the redirect_dir requirement
and probably also missed communicating this expectation to you.

When I tested overlay/017 with different configurations I ran into a
strange random failure that only happens with base fs xfs and overlay
mount options index=on,nfs_export=off. I finally tracked it down to an
xfs v4.15 regression and figured out why index=on improves the chances
to hit the bug (because overlay inodes are hashed).

So after patch 4 is applied, overlay/017 is expected to pass on upstream
kernel with default configuration and may may with inodex=on.
xfs bug fix was sent to Darrick.

Thanks,
Amir.

  ovelray: drop explicit use of OVERLAY_MOUNT_OPTIONS
  overlay/036: fix upper/lower dir mismatch
  overlay: consider index dir with whiteouts clean
  overlay/017: require and enable redirect_dir
