This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled selftests/mount_setattr: Fix failures on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: selftests-mount_setattr-fix-failures-on-64k-page_siz.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 850c74ae9ec7faac5c8f451455ac14e5610a37ed Author: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 16 00:41:14 2024 +1100 selftests/mount_setattr: Fix failures on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels [ Upstream commit f13242a46438e690067a4bf47068fde4d5719947 ] Currently the mount_setattr_test fails on machines with a 64K PAGE_SIZE, with errors such as: # RUN mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative ... mkfs.ext4: No space left on device while writing out and closing file system # mount_setattr_test.c:1055:invalid_fd_negative:Expected system("mkfs.ext4 -q /mnt/C/ext4.img") (256) == 0 (0) # invalid_fd_negative: Test terminated by assertion # FAIL mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative not ok 12 mount_setattr_idmapped.invalid_fd_negative The code creates a 100,000 byte tmpfs: ASSERT_EQ(mount("testing", "/mnt", "tmpfs", MS_NOATIME | MS_NODEV, "size=100000,mode=700"), 0); And then a little later creates a 2MB ext4 filesystem in that tmpfs: ASSERT_EQ(ftruncate(img_fd, 1024 * 2048), 0); ASSERT_EQ(system("mkfs.ext4 -q /mnt/C/ext4.img"), 0); At first glance it seems like that should never work, after all 2MB is larger than 100,000 bytes. However the filesystem image doesn't actually occupy 2MB on "disk" (actually RAM, due to tmpfs). On 4K kernels the ext4.img uses ~84KB of actual space (according to du), which just fits. However on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels the ext4.img takes at least 256KB, which is too large to fit in the tmpfs, hence the errors. It seems fraught to rely on the ext4.img taking less space on disk than the allocated size, so instead create the tmpfs with a size of 2MB. With that all 21 tests pass on 64K PAGE_SIZE kernels.
