Looks like Eric dropped this line when he forward ported this patch to v3.1. Interestingly, I did test this using xfstests, and it didn't complain. Which probably means we don't have a good test coverage that triggers the specific preconditions of this optimization. Oops. I'll fix this up now. Eric, when you have a chance, could you work up an xfstests test that automates the various tests that you ran manually when you developed this patch?

Indeed I screwed up. Apologies for the trouble. I tested the patch thoroughly on our kernel version, ported it to ~ 2.6.39 and tested. This was a few months ago and could not find the time to complete the work then. When I got a chance to resume the effort, the upstream kernel had changed but I was not supposed to even build it due to security concerns with the kernel.org sources. So I redid the port blind, verified [the file] built but did not test. > Interestingly, I did test this using xfstests, and it didn't > complain.

Sure, but the "chance" may not manifest itself soon.

Which probably means "never" :( This is definitely a "do as I say not as I (always) do" but in general: having testcases used for testing commits, and not putting them into the existing regression suite, is bad development practice. It should be a priority for all of us. I know sometimes it is difficult or impossible (my latest xattr race testcase requires (for now) a bunch of libraries from Ceph, and I haven't found a way around that yet) but "I don't have time" is a poor excuse. How did you do the tests? I'd be glad to give you a hand with the formalized testcase if you need it.
