Actually, it doesn't. Test 242 still fails. Yeah, there was already
a regression test for this case, it's just that the golden output
wasn't correct so it never detected the single first block zero
failure even though it was tested.  Now it throws an md5sum mismatch
error, indicating that the behaviour has changed iin some unexpected
way and something is not right with the world.

I can confirm that the page cache page is not being tossed for
this case (end is -1, start is 128) so the fix for the problem in
the commit is good, but there's more problems here. Clearly it is
that there is data in the page cache:

And that is wrong, wrong, wrong for an unwritten extent.

So, before even looking for the bug, what's the correct behaviour
here?  It's not directly specified in the man page, but XFS_IOC_ZERO
was really only implemented to zero whole blocks.  However, it makes
sense to handle partial blocks in a sane and consistent manner,
zeroing them correctly similar to XFS_IOC_UNRESVSP and hence
providing full byte range zeroing capability.

With this in mind, I look just looked at test 290 in more detail.
To me, the basic premise of the test is fundamentally wrong:

# Nothing should be tossed unless the range includes a page boundry

XFS_IOC_ZERO's functionality is not defined by page boundaries or
kernel internal behaviours - they may influence behaviour, but they
certainly don't define the behaviour. What I see in test 290 is an
encoding of the current truncate_pagecache_range() semantics, not an
encoding of the intent of XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE.  I didn't pay enough
attention to what this test was doing in the first place (my fault),
but the current behaviour is, IMO, borderline insane. :/

So, lets just make it sane by updating XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE to full
byte range granularity - it's simple enough to do. We can fix 242
and 290 quickly enough, anyway...

FWIW, this isn't currently optimal (we can avoid zeroing if the
partial blocks fall on holes or unwritten extents), but is a minor
problem compared to correct behaviour, and so that can be fixed
later.

Cheers,

Dave.

xfs: byte range granularity for XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE simply does not work properly for non page cache
aligned ranges. Neither test 242 or 290 exercise this correctly, so
the behaviour is completely busted even though the tests pass.

Fix it to support full byte range granularity as was originally
intended for this ioctl.
