[PATCH] xfstests 246: Test for race between direct I/O and mmap

[Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Lachlan McIlroy <lmcilory@xxxxxxxxxx>

A customer reported a problem:

If a process is using mmap to write to a file on an 
ext4 filesystem while another process is using direct 
I/O to write to the same file the first thread may 
receive a SIGBUS during a page fault.

A SIGBUS occurs if the page fault tries to access a 
page that is entirely beyond the end of the file but 
in this test case that should not be happening.
