Subject: [PATCH v2] fstests: add a dio-read-into-mmap and sync race test case
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 09:25:14 +0930 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803235514.25815-1-wqu@suse.com> (raw)
There is a report that on btrfs, if the following workload are running,
btrfs can fail:
- A dio read into a mmaped range
Only the mmap range needs to be on btrfs.
The dio read source makes no difference.
- Sync_range on the mapped range
The btrfs errors include:
- Hang during data writeback
- Filesystem flips RO
The mmap range is dirtied but written back by the sync_range process,
then dio read finished and found that the folios are no longer dirty,
so dio endio will mark those folios dirty again so that the fs can write
them back again.
However for non-experimental btrfs with 4K block size and 4K page size,
there is a regression in v7.2 that such case is no longer handled
properly, due to the enablement of large folios and removal of cow
fixup.
And btrfs can never handle it for bs < ps from day 1.
Add a regression test for it.

Changelog:
v2:
- Rebased to the latest patches-in-queue branch
The old number is taken by another test case, now this one got the
number 800.
- Fix a bug when the direct read failed short, the read buffer is not
advanced
- Add _require_odirect
- Add _require_xfs_io_command sync_range
- Add missing tmp files cleanup
- Remove unneessary trap command for the main process
- Fix the unset command
