This has the same problems with $seq.out as 279, so I won't repeat
them here.

Oh, man, you didn't write a program to do this, do you? This is what
xfs_io is for - to create arbitary file configurations as quickly as
you can type them.  Then all you need is a simple program that
copies the extents, and the test can check everything else.

A quick hack (untested) to replace this file creation with xfs_io
would be:

test01()
{
	write_cmd="-c \"truncate 0\" -c \"falloc 0 100m\""
	for i in `seq 0 1 100`; do
		offset=$((80991 + $i * 195001))
		write_cmd="$write_cmd -c \"pwrite $offset 4k\""
	done
	xfs_io -F -f $write_cmd $src

	$here/scr/sparse_cp $src $dst
	stat --printf "%s\n" $src $dst
	cmp $src $dst >> $seq.out || _fail "file bytes check failed"
}

There's no guarantee that that the seeks will occur while the pages
are in the writeback. It's entirely dependent on IO latency -
writing 16k of data to a disk cache will take less time than it
takes to go back up into userspace and start the sparse copy.
Indeed, i suspect that the 16x16k IOs that this tes does will fit
all into that category even on basic SATA configs....

Also, you could the fadvise command in xfs_io to do this, as
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED will trigger async writeback -it will then skip
invalidation of pages under writeback so they will remain in the
cache. i.e. '-c "fadvise -d 0 100m"'

Ideally, we should add all the different sync methods to an xfs_io
command...

I'm not sure what this means - you always write zeros at the end of
file, and the only difference is that "make holes at EOF" does an
ftruncate to the total size before writing zeros up to it. It
appears to me like you end up with the same file size and shape
either way....

Normally we echo "silence is golden" to the output
file in this case of no real output to indicate that this empty
output file is intentional.

Cheers,

Dave.
