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: --- tests/generic/157.out 2015-11-14 07:56:31.000000000 +0000 +++ /root/xfstests/results//generic/157.out.bad 2015-11-16 11:58:52.879078894 +0000 @@ -2,24 +2,24 @@ Format and mount Create the original files Try cross-device reflink -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Invalid cross-device link +reflink: Invalid cross-device link Try unaligned reflink -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Invalid argument +reflink: Invalid argument Try overlapping reflink -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Invalid argument +reflink: Invalid argument Try reflink past EOF -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Invalid argument +reflink: Invalid argument Try to reflink a dir -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Is a directory +reflink: Is a directory Try to reflink a device -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Invalid argument +/mnt/test/test-157/dev1: No such device or address Try to reflink to a dir -/mnt/test-157/dir1: Is a directory +/mnt/test/test-157/dir1: Is a directory Try to reflink to a device -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Operation not supported +/mnt/test/test-157/dev1: No such device or address Try to reflink to a fifo -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Operation not supported +reflink: Inappropriate ioctl for device Try to reflink an append-only file -XFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE: Bad file descriptor +reflink: Invalid argument Reflink two files Check scratch fs
