This allows testing FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE|FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.

Which is normally done through the "fpunch" command, which explains
why nobody has noticed this.

Ah okay, I was assuming parity with syscalls in the commands and picked
the first one I saw ;)

NACK. We should not allow users to set invalid combinations
of commands such as 'falloc -cipu ...' - this would set the flags
(FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE | FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE |
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE | FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE) and will always
error out.

Isn't it potentially useful to test invalid behavior?

The use of FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE for the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE command
is essentially for documentation purposes - it does not do
truncation, hence the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE flag was added to it to
ensure developers understand that it does not truncate the file and
change EOF.

IOWs, the fix needed to make the 'falloc -p' command work is really
just this:

-			mode = FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE;
+			mode = FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE | FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE;

My thinking was just "allow full exercising of the syscall", fpunch works
for my testcase so if you'd prefer not to do that we can just drop this :)

It might be worth cleaning up 'falloc' though: '-k' doesn't really make
sense on its own right? Maybe remove "-k" and make "-p" OR in KEEP_SIZE
like you suggest?

Thanks,
Calvin

Cheers,

Dave.
