I ran into similar complain when I worked on generic/564. Apparently, this is not the first test that uses rdev b/1/1 and c/1/1 so not sure how those tests work for everyone. In generic/564 I used a loopdev as blockdev and /dev/zero as chardev. > Why are these needed? Is locking code in any way dependent on > file type? > Not strictly needed. See that they already skip file types fifo|socket|symlink. But note that we are not testing locking, we are using /proc/locks to get a peek at i_ino, so if we skip also blockdev and chardev, we end up testing no special files at all for i_ino consistency. Not the end of the world, but then again using loop dev and /dev/zero would be quite trivial as well. If it bothers you, I can post a fix. Thanks, Amir.
