Sry, in my previous mail please s/16M/16G.  Was a typo.

I am using an SD card with test partitions 8G and 16G.

Best regards
Angelo

Hi all,

working on arm (32bit arch), kernel 4.1.6.
Is this a new platform?

Also, we need to know what compiler you are using, because we know
that certain versions of gcc miscompile XFS kernel code on arm
(4.6, 4.7 and certain versions of 4.8 are suspect) due to a
combination of compiler mis-optimisations and kernel bugs in the
arm 64 bit division asm implementation.

As such, it would be worthwhile trying gcc-4.9 and a 4.3-rc1 kernel
to see if the problems still occur.

I am using actually gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf

Looking to find the reason of some bad results on xfstests,

-tests/generic/009

i get several "all holes" messages

also some other tests are giving the same bad notices.
Can you attach the entire
/home/angelo/xfstests/results//generic/009.out.bad file? I'm not
sure which of the tests this output comes from, so I need to
confirm which specific operations are resulting in errors.
Sure, i completed the whole generic + shared + xfs tests.
In total i have 38 errors. And trying now one by one to understand the reason.
I attached the 009 output.

-tests/generic/308
------------------

I have now: CONFIG_LBDAF=y

In my target device this test creates a 16 Terabytes file 308.tempfile

-rw------- 1 root root  17592186044415 Sep 18 09:40 testfile.308

While "df" is not complaining about:

/dev/mmcblk0p5   8378368   45252   8333116   1% /media/p5

and next rm -f on it hands the cpu to 95%, forever.

This issue seems known from a long time, as it has been discussed in
the thread:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-04/msg00273.html

I was wondering if there was any special reason why the Jeff patch has
never been finally applied.
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE on 32 bits is 8TB, whereas xfs supports 16TB file
size on 32 bit systems. The specific issue this test fixed was
committed in commit 8695d27 ("xfs: fix infinite loop at
xfs_vm_writepage on 32bit system")

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2014-05/msg00447.html

And, as you may notice now, generic/308 is the test case for the
exact problem the above commit fixed.

I have recent git version of xfstests, but generic/308 shows

#! /bin/bash
# FS QA Test No. 308
#
# Regression test for commit:
# f17722f ext4: Fix max file size and logical block counting of extent format file

Can you find out exactly where the CPU is looping? sysrq-l will
help, as will running 'perf top -U -g' to show you the hot code
paths, and so on.

Strangely, the patch http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2014-05/msg00447.html is already included in the xfs that comes with this 4.1.6 kernel, while only applying previous

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-04/msg00273.html patch from Jeff fix the issue and
test 308 get passed.


I have a 16MB partition, and wondering why xfs allows from test 308 to create a 16TB file.

-rw------- 1 root root  17592186044415 Sep 18 09:40 testfile.308


When at 308 test exit, rm is invoked, system get blocked in infinite loop.

root 5445 0.7 0.2 3760 3180 ttyS0 S+ 10:53 0:00 /bin/bash /home/angelo/xfstests/tests/generic/308 root 5674 100 0.0 1388 848 ttyS0 R+ 10:53 0:27 rm -f /media/p5/testfile.308

Can't install actually perf-tools for some debian repos issue, but let me know, i will enable sysrq
if needed.

Best regards
Angelo



Cheers,

Dave.
