Subject: [PATCH 5/5] syscalls/readahead02: fail test if readahead did not use any cache
Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2018 12:44:32 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180929094432.30197-1-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)

The heuristic of failing the test only if not saving any io has false
negatives with overlayfs readahead() bug, but readahead() with overlayfs
always warns on "using less cache then expected", when actually, it is
using no cache at all.

Add another condition to fail the test if readahead did not use any
cache at all, which always detected the overlayfs bug.

Cyril,

This is a followup for the overlayfs readahead series.
With the patches already posted, the test fails sometimes, but
most of the times it just gets a warning.

With this additional patch test fails reliably.
Note that test only fails between these upstream commits:
  good  b833a3660394 ("ovl: add ovl_fadvise()")
  bad   5b910bd615ba ("ovl: fix GPF in swapfile_activate...")

I have a few more minor fixes for the v2 series, but I will hold
them back until v1 is reviewed.

Thanks,
Amir.
