This has to be an issue with everyone who is using XFS version which is not supporting "fpunch" but still none has raised this. As per my view, the support checking function _require_xfs_io_falloc_punch() is not working correctly otherwise it should return from that point.
Instead of:
echo $testio | grep -q "not found"
If we are sure of a "hole" from that command, then we can grep for "hole" in $testio.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks & Regards,

What if we modify this _require_xfs_io_falloc_punch()? To check whether "Hole" is created or not? This seems valid point for checking punch Support.Thanks & Regards,Amit Sahrawat

This is linked with new feature.. Add punch support, although the code existed before also, but the 'punch' has been specifically handled throughcmd = XFS_IOC_UNRESVP.Also, fallocate is moved out from 'xfs_iops.c' to 'file operations' in xfs_file.c, which handles the case forif (mode & ~(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE | FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE))
return -EOPNOTSUPP;...if(mode & FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
cmd = XFS_IOC_UNRESVSP;...Now, for old kernels, how to make sure that this test case does not execute or return meaningful error? without changing the kernel code it will not return error;Since, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE this is true and the command work with XFS_IOC_RESVP.Please suggest.Thanks & Regards,Amit Sahrawat

Fortunately or Unfortunately I have 2.6.31(x86) and 2.6.35.13(ARM) and both do not support "fpunch". As per your earlier mail - 2.6.35.y does not support "fpunch" so I though of trying on 2.6.31.y.I will check out for the return errors in this condition and will update more on this.Thanks & Regards,Amit Sahrawat

The fpunch command did not punch the range out.
Amit, once again you're testing on a kernel (2.6.31) that does not
support the punch operation. As I suggested previously, you need to
find out why the fpunch command is not returning an error as that is
root cause of your failures.
