Happy New Year! Dave Chinner: I've renumbered the new tests and pushed to github[3] if you'd like to pull. This is a (no longer) small patch set against the reflink/dedupe test cases in xfstests. The first four patches fix errors in the existing reflink tests, some of which are from Christoph Hellwig. Patches 5-6 refactor the dmerror code so that we can use it to simulate transient IO errors, then use this code to test that unwritten extent conversion does NOT happen after a directio write to an unwritten extent hits a disk error. Due to a bug in the VFS directio code, ext4 can disclose stale disk contents if an aio dio write fails; XFS suffers this problem for any failing dio write to an unwritten extent. Christoph's kernel patchset titled "vfs/xfs: directio updates to ease COW handling V2" (and a separate ext4 warning cleanup) is needed to fix this. Patches 7-9, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 23 exercise various parts of the copy on write behavior that are necessary to support shared blocks. The earlier patches focus on correct CoW behavior in the presence of IO errors during the copy-write, and the later patches focus on XFS' new cow-extent-size hint that greatly reduces fragmentation due to copy on write behavior by encouraging the allocator to allocate larger extents of replacement blocks. Patches 10-12 and 14 perform stress testing on reflink and CoW to check the behaviors when we get close to maximum refcount, when we specify obnxiously large offsets and lengths, and when we try to reflink millions of extents at a time. Patch 16 tests quota accounting behavior when reflink is enabled. Patch 19 adds a few tests for the XFS reverse mapping btree to ensure that things like metadump and growfs work correctly. Patch 22 checks that get_bmapx and fiemap (on XFS) correctly flag extents as having shared blocks. XFS now follows btrfs and ocfs2 FIEMAP behavior such that if any blocks of a file's extent are shared, the whole extent is marked shared. This is in contrast to earlier XFS-only behavior that reported shared and non-shared regions as separate extents. If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just pull from my github trees for kernel[1], xfsprogs[2], xfstests[3], xfs-docs[4], and man-pages[5]. All tests should pass on XFS. I tried btrfs this weekend and it failed 166, 175, 182, 266, 271, 272, 278, 281, 297, 298, 304, 333, and 334. ocfs2 (when I jury-rigged it to run the cp_reflink tests) seemed to have a quota bug and crashes hard in 284 (but was otherwise fine). Comments and questions are, as always, welcome. --D [1] https://github.com/djwong/linux/tree/for-dave [2] https://github.com/djwong/xfsprogs/tree/for-dave [3] https://github.com/djwong/xfstests/tree/for-dave [4] https://github.com/djwong/xfs-documentation/tree/for-dave [5] https://github.com/djwong/man-pages/commits/for-mtk _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
