Subject: [PATCH v2] selftests/mm: skip hugetlb_dio tests when DIO alignment is incompatible
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 20:03:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327120305.58653-1-liwang@redhat.com> (raw)
hugetlb_dio test uses sub-page offsets (pagesize / 2) to verify that
hugepages used as DIO user buffers are correctly unpinned at completion.
However, on filesystems with a logical block size larger than half the
page size (e.g., 4K-sector block devices), these unaligned DIO writes
are rejected with -EINVAL, causing the test to fail unexpectedly.
Add get_dio_alignment() to query the filesystem's required DIO alignment
via statx(STATX_DIOALIGN) and pass it to run_dio_using_hugetlb(). Skip
individual test cases whose write length is not a multiple of the
alignment, so that aligned cases are still tested.
=== Reproduce Steps ===
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.img bs=1M count=512
# losetup --sector-size 4096 /dev/loop0 /tmp/test.img
# mkfs.xfs /dev/loop0
# mkdir -p /mnt/dio_test
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/dio_test
// Modify test to open /mnt/dio_test and rebuild it:
- fd = open("/tmp", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR | O_DIRECT, 0664);
+ fd = open("/mnt/dio_test", O_TMPFILE | O_RDWR | O_DIRECT, 0664);
# getconf PAGESIZE
4096
# echo 100 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
# ./hugetlb_dio
TAP version 13
1..4
# No. Free pages before allocation : 100
# No. Free pages after munmap : 100
ok 1 free huge pages from 0-12288
Bail out! Error writing to file
: Invalid argument (22)
# Planned tests != run tests (4 != 1)
# Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

Notes:
v2:
- Pass dio_align as a parameter to run_dio_using_hugetlb()
instead of generally page_size/2 alignment check.
