That doesn't write to the last block - that writes one block beyond
the EOF. And it also truncates the file first, so what is triggering
the bug? the truncate of the previous file, or the writing of the
file? If it is writing of the file, then what's the point of the
first write?

Also, I'd prefer that xfs_io is used instead of dd because then the
operations being performed are explicit. i.e, the above it this:

offset=$(((2**32 - 2) * $block_size))
XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite $offset $block_size" \
		-c fsync $testfile | filter_io
XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "truncate 0" \
		-c "pwrite $((offset + $block_size)) $block_size" \
		-c fsync $testfile | filter_io

And it's not clear from either the test of the comments which of the
3 operations is actaully the one that causes the bug to be
triggered....

Cheers,

Dave.
