Subject: [PATCH] fstests: generic/228: do not rely on the bash core dump output
Date: Thu,  4 Sep 2025 15:23:05 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904055305.103753-1-wqu@suse.com> (raw)

[BUG]
With bash 5.3.x, the test case generic/228 will always fail with the
following golden output mismatch:

PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 btrfs-vm 6.17.0-rc3-custom+ #281 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Aug 28 11:15:21 ACST 2025

Ran: generic/228
Failures: generic/228
Failed 1 of 1 tests

[CAUSE]
The "File size limit exceeded" line is never from xfs_io, but the
coredump from bash itself.

And with latest 5.3.x bash, it added extra dump during such core dump
handling (even if we have explicitly skipped the coredump).

[FIX]
Instead of relying on bash to do the coredump, which is unreliable
between different bash versions as I have shown above, ignore the
SIGXFSZ signal so that xfs_io will do the error output, which is more
reliable than bash.
