[LTP] [PATCH v1] fs_fill: Increase test loop device size to 1GB

[LTP] [PATCH v1] fs_fill: Increase test loop device size to 1GB

[Wei Gao via ltp]

On PPC64 the page size is 64K and this causes trouble on btrfs
filesystems of small size(LTP currently use 300M), the threads
could compete for a very small number of pages/blocks to actually
write the data. So Increase minimal device size to 1G avoid the
corner case.

Hi Wei,

nit: s/PPC64/ppc64le/ (the other one is 32 bit)
nit: s/64K/4K/

I wonder if would work with less (512 MB), but probably better to be safe with
1024 MB.

Kind regards,
Petr

The other one is 64bit but big-endian. And yes, the big-endian mode will 
have the same issue, so "PPC64" is good enough catch-all term.

No.

Wei, I'm sorry, of course Martin, you're right.

Also here.

Martin, thanks for correcting me.
