The content of xfs/999.full seems OK to me. One possibility of the non-occurrence is the XFS error handler configurations of your environment are not the default ones, namely /sys/fs/xfs/$dev/error/. Could you please ensure the configurations are the same as the default ones ? Another possibility is that the AIL item and CIL item of dquota had been flushed to the disk before the injection of the IO error, so the umount exits successfully. To fix that race, the test needs to inject the IO error first, then uses xfs_io to modify the dquota buffer. >>>> + >>>> +# inject write IO error >>>> +FLAKEY_TABLE=$(_make_xfs_scratch_flakey_table) >>>> +_load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES >>> >>> Set FLAKEY_TABLE_DROP here and call _load_flakey_table with >>> $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES >> >> No. We need to use the customized table instead of FLAKEY_TABLE_DROP, >> because we need to let the write return IO error instead of being droppped >> silently and we need to ensure the write of the log will succeed. > > I mean something like: > > FLAKEY_TABLE_DROP=$(_make_xfs_scratch_flakey_table) > _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES > > This basically does the same work as your code, but loading a different > table var. _load_flakey_table selects FLAKEY_TABLE when first argument > is $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES, and selects FLAKEY_TABLE_DROP when the argument > is $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES.
