[PATCH v4 0/3] Test file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls

[Andrey Albershteyn]

Add a test to check basic functionallity of file_getattr() and
file_setattr() syscalls. These syscalls are used to get/set filesystem
inode attributes (think of FS_IOC_SETFSXATTR ioctl()). The difference
from ioctl() is that these syscalls use *at() semantics and can be
called on any file without opening it, including special ones.

For XFS, with the use of these syscalls, xfs_quota now can
manipulate quota on special files such as sockets. Add a test to
check that special files are counted, which wasn't true before.

[PATCH v4 1/3] file_attr: introduce program to set/get fsxattr

[Andrey Albershteyn]

This programs uses newly introduced file_getattr and file_setattr
syscalls. This program is partially a test of invalid options. This will
be used further in the test.

We should have a _require_* helper to _notrun your generic and xfs test cases,
when system doesn't support the file_getattr/setattr feature. Or we always hit
something test errors like below on old system:

  +Can not get fsxattr on ./fifo: Operation not supported

Maybe check if the errno is "Operation not supported", or any better idea?

There's build system check for file_getattr/setattr syscalls, so if
they aren't in the kernel file_attr will not compile.

Then there's _require_test_program "file_attr" in the tests, so
these will not run if kernel doesn't have these syscalls.

However, for XFS for example, there's [1] and [2] which are
necessary for these tests to pass. 

So, there a few v6.17 kernels which would still run these tests but
fail for XFS (and still fails as these commits are in for-next now).

For other filesystems generic/ will also fail on newer kernels as it
requires similar modifications as in XFS to support changing file
attributes on special files.

I suppose it make sense for this test to fail for other fs which
don't implement changing file attributes on special files.
Otherwise, this test could be split into generic/ (file_get/setattr
on regular files) and xfs/ (file_get/setattr on special files).

What do you think?

generic/772 (and xfs/648) probably each ought to be split into two
pieces -- one for testing file_[gs]etattr on regular/directory files;
and a second one for the special files.  All four of them ought to
_notrun if the kernel doesn't support the intended target.

Right now I have injected into both:

mkfifo $projectdir/fifo

$here/src/file_attr --get $projectdir ./fifo &>/dev/null || \
	_notrun "file_getattr not supported on $FSTYP"

to make the failures go away on 6.17.

I see, yeah that's what I thought of, I will split them and send new

This patchset has been merged, as the feature has been merged, so let's
have the coverage at first. Please feel free to change the cases base on
the newest for-next branch.

Yes, use you src/file_attr program in the _require_ helper, refer to
_require_idmapped_mounts or _require_seek_data_hole or others.

[PATCH v4 2/3] generic: introduce test to test file_getattr/file_setattr syscalls

[Andrey Albershteyn]

Add a test to test basic functionality of file_getattr() and
file_setattr() syscalls. Most of the work is done in file_attr
utility.

[PATCH v4 3/3] xfs: test quota's project ID on special files

[Andrey Albershteyn]

From: Andrey Albershteyn <aalbersh@redhat.com>

With addition of file_getattr() and file_setattr(), xfs_quota now can
set project ID on filesystem inodes behind special files. Previously,
quota reporting didn't count inodes of special files created before
project initialization. Only new inodes had project ID set.
