[PATCH] xfstests: generic/255: Execute only if blocksize <= 4096

[chandan]

The patch adds the function _require_le_4k_blocksize to perform the
block size check on $TEST_DEV and $SCRATCH_DEV.

Can you explain why this is necessary?

What failures do you see, on what filesystems?

That kind of info needs to be in the changelog so reviewers
can understand the need for the change (and to be sure
it's not papering over an actual bug for block sizes
> 4k...)

Thanks,
-Eric

generic/255 currently fails on Btrfs on a ppc64 machine with 64k page size and
hence 64k block size.

generic/255 has been written to test the corner cases for 4k block size. I did
try to make it work with variable sized block sizes, But I got stuck
working with md5sum (since we would need two sets of md5sums, due to
_test_generic_punch() being invoked with and without '-k' option per block
size). 

Since 4k block size support for Btrfs on ppc64 is already being worked on, I
think its better to prevent execution of generic/255 for block sizes greater
than 4k.

Apologies for not including the above description in the patch.

It happens.  ;)

To be honest I haven't really looked at how _test_generic_punch & generic/255
works lately.

Just as a sanity check, does it also fail on xfs for 64k block sizes on ppc64?

Thanks,

Yes, it does fail as shown below:

In this instance, the test basically ends up punching a hole within a block
and hence fails.
