Minor stuff first:

- xfstests patches should be sent to fstests@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx now.
- can you pick the first unused numbers in the sequence for new
  tests (xfs/032, xfs/051) so I don't have to renumber them before
  applying them?
- a patch per new test - it makes it easier to review and apply as i
  don't have to split patches into multiple commits...

What is a "large directory"? Wouldn't it be better to describe the
test as "Determine whether the extent size hint can be set on
directories with allocated extents correctly"?

Is that correct? It doesn't match the email address you sent this
from and I've never seen you post from a @google.com address.  I
always like to check that the copyright assignment is correct in
situations like this...

Not needed, doesn't use the test device.

Better to use xfs_io directly and filter out $SCRATCH_MNT into the
golden output file like so:

$XFS_IO_PROG -c "bmap" $small | _filter_scratch

which will give:

SCRATCH_MNT/small: no extents

urk. largest inode size is 2kb, which means at most it can fit less
than 100 dirents in the inode before spilling to extent form. So
just do a loop that creates 1000 files - there's no need to
overengineer the test code.

xfs_io uses the ioctl directly - there's no need to write a special
c program to do this, especially as....

.... that code is quite broken. Yes, it would work to set the
appropriate extent size flags with the kernel
changes you made, but that's not how this ioctl works.

i.e. it will cause any flag bits that are set on the inode to be
cleared and it's likely to fail on old kernels beacuse they have
very different behaviour to what your patch does.

IOWs, setting fsx_extsize without setting either XFS_XFLAG_EXTSIZE
or XFS_XFLAG_EXTSZINHERIT is bad practice. The kernel is left to
guess what you actually wanted to be done - the flags are supposed
to tell the kernel that the fsx_extsize value is meaningful, not the
other way around.

FWIW, the xfs_io code is *exactly* what applications should be
doing to set the extent size or any other inode flag. i.e:

1. stat the fd to determine the type.
2. populate the fsxattr structure with the existing inode flags
3. change the flags/fields of the fsxattr structure appropriately
4. set the new values to the inode.

i.e, from io/open.c:

static int
set_extsize(const char *path, int fd, long extsz)
{
        struct fsxattr  fsx;
        struct stat64   stat;

        if (fstat64(fd, &stat) < 0) {
                perror("fstat64");
                return 0;
        }
        if ((xfsctl(path, fd, XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR, &fsx)) < 0) {
                printf("%s: XFS_IOC_FSGETXATTR %s: %s\n",
                        progname, path, strerror(errno));
                return 0;
        }

        if (S_ISREG(stat.st_mode)) {
                fsx.fsx_xflags |= XFS_XFLAG_EXTSIZE;
        } else if (S_ISDIR(stat.st_mode)) {
                fsx.fsx_xflags |= XFS_XFLAG_EXTSZINHERIT;
        } else {
                printf(_("invalid target file type - file %s\n"), path);
                return 0;
        }
        fsx.fsx_extsize = extsz;

        if ((xfsctl(path, fd, XFS_IOC_FSSETXATTR, &fsx)) < 0) {
                printf("%s: XFS_IOC_FSSETXATTR %s: %s\n",
                        progname, path, strerror(errno));
                return 0;
        }

        return 0;
}

We have xfs_io precisely so that we don't have to maintain random
test code like this throughout xfstests - do it once, do it right,
use it everywhere.

Cheers,

Dave.
