[PATCH v4 0/3] fstests: basic smoke test on zoned loop device

[Johannes Thumshirn]

Add a very basic smoke test on a zoned loopback device to check that noone is
accidentially breaking support for zoned block devices in filesystems that
support these.

Currently this includes btrfs, f2fs and xfs.

Changes to v3:
- Don't mkdir zloop_base in test but in _create_zloop
- Add Christoph's Reviewed-by in 1/3

Changes to v2:
- Add Carlos' Reviewed-bys
- Add a _find_last_zloop() helper

[PATCH v4 1/3] common/zoned: add _require_zloop

[Johannes Thumshirn]

zoned loopback block device.

Er... what happens if there are discontiguities in the active zloop
devices?

Let's say you have

# ls /dev/zloop*
/dev/zloop1000
/dev/zloop1000000
/dev/zloop3

That will produce last_id=3, which I don't think is what we want.

Maybe the default zloop_base should be under $tmp somewhere?

I wonder, if /dev/zloop3 already exists, shouldn't we respect the failed
write?  e.g.

	echo "$zloop_args" > /dev/zloop-control && echo "/dev/zloop$id"

Yes I've changed that to:

_find_next_zloop()
{
     id=0

     while true; do
         if [[ ! -b "/dev/zloop$id" ]]; then
             break
         fi
         id=$((id + 1))
     done

     echo "$id"
}

This is the kernel's default, so I opted for that

[PATCH v4 3/3] generic: basic smoke for filesystems on zoned block devices

[Johannes Thumshirn]

Add a basic smoke test for filesystems that support running on zoned
block devices.

It creates a zloop device with 2 conventional and 62 sequential zones,
mounts it and then runs fsx on it.

Currently this tests supports BTRFS, F2FS and XFS.

Probably ought to be a teardown helper ^^

_destroy_zloop() {
	local zloop="$1"

	test -b "$zloop" || return
	local id=$(echo $zloop | grep -oE '[0-9]+$')

	echo "remove id=$id" > /dev/zloop-control
}

Then everyone's cleanups can become:

_cleanup()
{
	_destroy_zloop "$zloop"
}

The test itself looks good though.

Yes, that's actually something I asked for in the review for the last
version.
