Subject: clone ioctl return values
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 04:04:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151116120431.GA2860@infradead.org> (raw)
Hi Darrick,
your new generic/157 xfs test brings up an interesting issue: error
returns forthe various clone failure cases. It seems like this case
was written fo the XFS case which differs a lot from the error chosen
by btrfs and mostly followed by NFS. I'd say it might be a better idea
to follow the btrfs example as the btrfs ioctls have been in use for
a while. The only shortcoming I see in btrfs is that id doesn't
explicitly check for non-directory, non-regular file items as the
source. I have to admit I'm kinda surprised that it doesn't blow up,
given that NFS instantly did when I removed those checks.
FYI, output from the test on btrfs below:
