It's really just a slightly different set of corner cases to what
252 tests, and there's quite a bit of overlap. What your tests don't
do is test different combinations of extent type conversions and he
splits and merges which, historically, have been the major source of
bugs with hole punching...

Adding your various cases to 252 (generic_test_punch) would be a much
better idea, I think.

With that in mind:

> +# Big Hole and Hole Removal Test

Covered by 252, cases 11, 12 and 13. it doesn't need to write 600MB
files to do this, and in the case of XFS, a 600MB file is still only
a single extent, so the test is behaving according to your desire on
XFS.

That's covered by the removing of the test file between test
cases in 252.

Again, the filesystem free block count tests are simply not
reliable. I'm pretty sure that this simply won't work on btrfs....

> +# Last Block Hole Test

Not directly handled by 252. Easily added, though.

echo " 14. data -> hole @ EOF"
rm -f $testfile
$XFS_IO_PROG $xfs_io_opt -f -c "truncate 20k" \
-c "pwrite 0 20k" -c "fsync" \
-c "$zero_cmd 12k 8k" \
-c "$map_cmd -v" $testfile | $filter_cmd
[ $? -ne 0 ] && die_now

> +# First Block Hole Test

Same here

echo " 15. data -> hole @ 0"
rm -f $testfile
$XFS_IO_PROG $xfs_io_opt -f -c "truncate 20k" \
-c "pwrite 0 20k" -c "fsync" \
-c "$zero_cmd 0k 8k" \
-c "$map_cmd -v" $testfile | $filter_cmd
[ $? -ne 0 ] && die_now

Not directly tested in 252, but easily added via:

echo " 15. data -> cache cold ->hole"
rm -f $testfile
rm -f $testfile.2
$XFS_IO_PROG $xfs_io_opt -f -c "truncate 20k" \
-c "pwrite 8k 12k" -c "fsync" $testfile.2
$XFS_IO_PROG $xfs_io_opt -f -c "truncate 20k" \
-c "pwrite 0 20k" -c "fsync" \
-c "$zero_cmd 0k 8k" \
-c "fadvise -d" \
-c "$map_cmd -v" $testfile | $filter_cmd
diff $testfile $testfile.2
[ $? -ne 0 ] && die_now
rm -f $testfile.2

That's effectively a repeat of the "data -> hole @ EOF" test.
Realistically, this test needs to be run with preallocation beyond
EOF to show that it can punch extents beyond EOF....

> +# Off Edge Hole Test

Just using a non-block aligned start hole offset in the above test
will cover this one as well. No need for multiple tests that
effectively do the same thing.

> +# One Block Hole Test

If anyone is doing this in an application, they deserve what they
get :/

echo " 16. data -> hole in single block file"
rm -f $testfile
$XFS_IO_PROG $xfs_io_opt -f -c "truncate 512" \
-c "pwrite 0 512" -c "fsync" \
-c "$zero_cmd 128 128" \
-c "$map_cmd -v" $testfile | $filter_cmd
[ $? -ne 0 ] && die_now

If you want to test this properly, you need to run all the 252 tests
without the fsync after the data write so the extents are still
delalloc before the other operations are done. i.e. make the fsync
command a variable like map_cmd and zero_cmd.

Already covered by case 3 "into unwritten space".

> +# Multi Hole Test

Far better to redo the whole punch series without removing the file
in-between the individual tests. That will cover far more edge
conditions that "same hole, 12 bytes lower, 12 bytes higher and 4k
higher." As it is, the last test is already covered by 252.

> +# Multi Hole Test Front

And in doing so would cover this case.

> +# Multi Hole Test Delayed

and this case without needing any extra work.

And the good part about extending 252 (from my persepctive) is that
test 242 (for the XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE ioctl) will also get better
coverage. And if I add the fallocate zero-range equivalent, it will
also be easy to test for all these cases, too, just by running
test_generic_punch with a different zero command....

Cheers,

Dave.
