Better to specify the commit id number. I saw Ted has applied that patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/162895105421.460437.8931255765382647790.b4-ty@mit.edu/

And maybe you can describe *a little* more in commit log.

I think the umount isn't necessary, so the specific _cleanup isn't
needed either.

Do you use any filter helpers below?

I'm wondering if this case can be a generic case, there's nothing
ext4 specified operations, except this line:

"$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV"

Hmm... if we can change this line to something likes _get_fs_super(),
it might help to make this test to be a generic test.

It's sure this case will be "ext4/309", although you use "309" won't
affect anything.

Don't need to change the status value, how about write as:

$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >/dev/null

The error output will break the golden image directly.

Thanks. I see the commit id e905fbe3fd0fdb90052f6efdf88f50a78833cfe7
in the above URL. I didn't add it since I'm not sure if this id will
be the final id when the commit is finally merged to the mainline
kernel (Linus tree)?

Yes I can add a few words in the commit log, but actually I expect the
reader of this test reads the commit message of the mentioned commit
"ext4: Fix tune2fs checksum failure for mounted filesystem", which I
think is more precise.

I will correct it in the next version. Thanks.

The $SCRATCH_DEV was still mounted before this _cleanup(), so I'm
wondering why we shouldn't do _scratch_unmount here? And I see at
least another similar structured test ext4/306 do _scratch_unmount in
_cleanup().

No. I will remove this line in my next version.

I think this bug is heavily related to "tune2fs", ext4 only. So I
guess an ext4 only test is enough?

Yes I can rename it to something like ext4-309.tmp if it looks better.

How did you test that? The error output didn't break the "golden
image" in my test.

FWIW I agree with Boyang here. For this test to make sense for any other
filesystem other the filesystem would need to read fs metadata through
buffer cache in _get_fs_super(). Furthermore it is somewhat ext2/3/4
specific (due to historical reasons) that reading superblock from the
buffer cache of a mounted filesystem is expected to result in something
sensible. Usually this is plain unsupported use...

Thanks for this explanation:) I didn't ask for extending this test to be
a generic test, just checking others ideas:) Due to although tune2fs is
special, but the test steps are common:
1) mkfs
2) mount
3) write io
4) shutdown fs
5) umount && mount
6) read sb from a mounted fs (make sure using tune2fs for ext4)

Anyway, keep this test as ext4 only is fine for me :)

The SCRATCH_DEV will be umounted, don't need to do that in the end of each
test cases, except you need to do something on the unmounted SCRATCH_DEV
in the end.

I don't know why ext4/306 has that, maybe due to old reason, or we didn't
notice/care that when we reviewed it? And it's not worth sending a patch
just for removing this "not wrong but just redundant" line now. Except a
patch trys to cleanup all _cleanup().

Just checking. That's fine for me to keep this case as an ext4 only case.

I think something likes: echo "This is a test" > $SCRATCH_MNT/testfile
is good enough, don't need the "ext4" or "309" things.

OK. I will remove the _cleanup() in my next version, unless someone
else has other opinions.

OK. I will modify it to

echo "This is a test" > $SCRATCH_MNT/testfile

Unless I missed something, I would say that, tune2fs' error output
went to .out.bad just because you had modified the tune2fs line from
mine:

$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >> $seqres.full 2>&1

to yours:

$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >/dev/null

My original version redirecting stderr and stdout both to $seqres.full
doesn't break the "golden output". Test log:
```

```

As far as I can understand, there're at least two approaches to mark a
test pass or fail in xfstests:
1) Compare the output of the test with the "golden output" (i.e.
309.out), I guess this is the approach you mentioned.
2) Exit the test with the value of $status (i.e. status=0 - pass,
status=non-zero - fail)

I'm using the 2) here, not using 1) with the output of tune2fs
compared with the 309.out, because the output of tune2fs can be
different in different runs. An example output of a successful tune2fs
run is like (sorry for this long paste):

I think what Zorro is suggesting is that *when test fails* just dump
stderr and let the error message break golden image to fail the test, so
there's no need to set exit status.

And this failure doesn't give any clues why it failed, you must check
$seqres.full file to find out.

With stderr breaking golden image, you'll see what fails more easily,
e.g.


  QA output created by 309
  Silence is golden
 +/usr/sbin/tune2fs: Superblock checksum does not match superblock while trying to open /dev/mapper/testvg-scratchdev
 +Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
 ...
 (Run 'diff -u /root/git/xfstests-dev/tests/ext4/309.out /root/git/xfstests-dev/results//ext4/309.out.bad'  to see the entire diff)

Yes, I've metioned that in my first reply above.

You can
[1]
$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >> $seqres.full
status=0
exit

Or:
[2]
$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >> $seqres.full 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ];then
	echo "Fail to get superblock from SCRATCH_DEV"
fi
status=0
exit

Or:
[3]
$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >> $seqres.full 2>&1 || exit
status=0
exit

Or:
[4]
$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >> $seqres.full 2>&1 && status=0
exit

I perfer the 1st one, most xfstests cases fail by breaking golden image.
I just showed my review points, anyway I don't mind if maintainer would like
to choose anyone else :)

Thanks,
Zorro
