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:
