[PATCHSET] fstests: more random fixes for v2025.10.05

[Darrick J. Wong]

Hi all,

Here's the usual odd fixes for fstests.

If you're going to start using this code, I strongly recommend pulling
from my git trees, which are linked below.

With a bit of luck, this should all go splendidly.
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.

[PATCH 1/8] generic/427: try to ensure there's some free space before we do the aio test

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

On a filesystem configured like this:
MKFS_OPTIONS="-m metadir=1,autofsck=1,uquota,gquota,pquota -d rtinherit=1 -r zoned=1"

This test fails like this:

+++ b/tests/generic/427.out.bad        2025-07-14 10:47:07.605377287 -0700
@@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
 QA output created by 427
-Success, all done.
+pwrite: No space left on device

The pwrite failure comes from the aio-dio-eof-race.c program because the
filesystem ran out of space.  There are no speculative posteof
preallocations on a zoned filesystem, so let's skip this test on those
setups.

[PATCH 2/8] common/rc: fix _require_xfs_io_shutdown

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Capturing the output of _scratch_shutdown_handle requires one to enclose
the callsite with $(), otherwise you're comparing the literal string
"_scratch_shutdown_handle" to $SCRATCH_MNT, which always fails.

Also fix _require_xfs_io_command to handle testing the shutdown command
correctly.

[PATCH 3/8] generic/742: avoid infinite loop if no fiemap results

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

The fiemap-fault program employed this program looks for deadlocks
between FIEMAP and file page faults by calling the FIEMAP ioctl with a
buffer pointer that is mmaped file range.  Unfortunately, the FIEMAP
loop can enter an infinite loop if FIEMAP reports zero extents because
it never changes the last variable.

This shouldn't happen if the filesystem is working correctly, but it
turns out that there's a bug in libext2fs' punch-range code that causes
punch-alternating to unmap all the double-indirect blocks in the file.
This causes the while loop to run forever because last never increases,
which then means that testing fuse2fs with ext2/ext3 grinds to a halt
because fstests doesn't enforce a per-testcase time limit.

Avoid this situation by bailing out if the loop doesn't make forward
progress.

[PATCH 4/8] generic/{482,757}: skip test if there are no FUA writes

[Darrick J. Wong]

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Both of these tests fail if the filesystem doesn't issue a FUA write to
a device, but ... there's no requirement that filesystems actually use
FUA at all.  For example, a fuse filesystem that writes to the block
device's page cache and issues fsync() will not cause the block layer to
issue FUA writes for the dirty pages.  Change that to _notrun.

[PATCH 5/8] generic/772: actually check for file_getattr special file support

Hmm, zoned ZXFS never issues FUA and didn't fail.  Oh, these use dm thin
and thus are _notrun.

This isn't really the last but the first FUA write we're looking for

Same here.

The only reason I'm asking is because if we did this for every write
we'd kinda defeat the purpose of the test.  But we're only doing it
to see if any FUA writes exists as far as I can tell, so we should
be ok.  But it might be worth changing the messages.

What XFS flags end up in lsattr?  Is this coordinated with the official

Assuming you're asking which XFS flags are reported by ext4 lsattr...

append, noatime, nodump, immutable, projinherit, fsdax

Unless you meant src/file_attr.c?  In which case theyr'e

> Is this coordinated with the official

Only informally by Ted and I talking on Thursdays.

The problem here is that _filter_file_attributes ... probably ought to
say which domain (ext4 lsattr or xfs_io lsattr) it's actually filtering.

Right now the only users of this helper are using it to filter
src/file_attr.c output (aka xfs_io lsattr) so I think I should change
the patch to document that.

Yes, it's looking for the first FUA write after mkfs, which is
(presumably) the first directio O_SYNC write or (more likely) journal
commit.

How about use findmnt? e.g.

    grep -qw noattr2 <(findmnt -rncv -M / -o OPTIONS)

Then the PIPESTATUS isn't needed either.

I can help to do this change if you agree.

It's checking specifically that the new getattr syscall works on special
files.  I suppose you could wrap that in a helper, but I think this is a
lot more direct about what it's looking for.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. The new syscall is created for setting extended
attributes on special files, therefore I suppose if there's file_setattr syscall
and it can work on regular file, then it can work on any other files the fs supports.
If this's correct, _require_file_attr can use file_attr to try to set and get
attr on a regular file in $TEST_DIR, to make sure the whole file_set/getattr
feature is supported. Is that right?

The patch 1,2,3,5,7,8 has been acked/reviewed, do you need I merge these patches
in the release of this weekend at first, as this's a random fixes patchset. Or
I can wait your next version, then merge the whole patchset when it's all get
reviewed ?

Yes, please.  And we really need to figure out central authoritisied
to document the lsattr and fsxattr domain flags.

Hahah, I just felt weird, why g/427 failed as:

   QA output created by 427
  -pwrite: No space left on device
  +Success, all done.

then I found `git am` treats above commit log as part of the patch :-D Please add
some blanks to above fail messages.

BTW, I decided not to merge this patchset in today's release, due to I haven't gotten
time to give it enough test. I'll try to merge it (or part of it) in next release .
Sorry for the late.

Thanks,

No.  The new new syscall allows programs to specify a {dir fd, path}
input that points to a special file, but it uses the existing per-fs
get/setattr implementations.  All of those implementations have to
remove their copy-pasta'd code:

	if (d_is_special(dentry))
		return -ENOTTY;

before the new syscall will return non-error for special files.  This
wasn't done for all of the filesystems before 6.18, which means that
6.17 has the syscall but none of the filesystems support accessing
special files.  As of 6.18-rc2, gfs, jfs, and ubifs still have that
code.

TLDR: You can't assume that the new syscall works with special files.

[add tytso and linux-ext4]

I think we should standardize on the VFS (aka file_getattr) flag values,
which means the xfs version more or less wins.

The only problem there of course is that file_getattr doesn't know about
the ext-specific flags, which are:

	{ EXT2_SECRM_FL, "s", "Secure_Deletion" },
	{ EXT2_UNRM_FL, "u" , "Undelete" },
	{ EXT2_DIRSYNC_FL, "D", "Synchronous_Directory_Updates" },
	{ EXT2_COMPR_FL, "c", "Compression_Requested" },
	{ EXT4_ENCRYPT_FL, "E", "Encrypted" },
	{ EXT3_JOURNAL_DATA_FL, "j", "Journaled_Data" },
	{ EXT2_INDEX_FL, "I", "Indexed_directory" },
	{ EXT2_NOTAIL_FL, "t", "No_Tailmerging" },
	{ EXT2_TOPDIR_FL, "T", "Top_of_Directory_Hierarchies" },
	{ EXT4_EXTENTS_FL, "e", "Extents" },
	{ FS_NOCOW_FL, "C", "No_COW" },
	{ EXT4_CASEFOLD_FL, "F", "Casefold" },
	{ EXT4_INLINE_DATA_FL, "N", "Inline_Data" },
	{ EXT4_VERITY_FL, "V", "Verity" },
	{ EXT2_NOCOMPR_FL, "m", "Dont_Compress" },

Not sure what we want to do about that, since some of those flags like
the ones related to deletion, compression, and tailmerging aren't
implemented.

Other things like extents/topdir seem too ext4-specific to put in a vfs
interface....?

Will clean up and push out.  Though now that there's an xfsprogs 6.17
release I guess I'll rerun everything with that and push out the
bugfixes tomorrow instead of today.

Ok, I'm more than confused than before.  Shouldn't we simply use
separate filters for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS vs FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR?

Yeah.  I was going to just provide both versions, but then I went down
the rabbithole of navelgazing about "Is upstream going to accept a
helper for the ext4 lsattr flags even though there are no users?" and
then wandered off to tackle actual useful things like mount/unmount
races in fuse. :P

Shouldn't we use $here/src/file_attr like we have done later (maybe just for consistency)?
Also, I am wondering if we can have something like
_require_get_attr_for_special_files() helper kind of a thing?

If noatrr2 doesn't do anything, then in that case _try_scratch_mount will ignore noattr2 and mount
will succeed. With the above change, we are just checking if noattr2 appears in /proc/mounts(after
the mount), if yes then the preconditions returns true, else the test using this precondition is
notrun. Right?

This looks okay to me.

$TEST_DIR is always available and mounted, whereas SCRATCH_* are

Right.

On a pre-6.18 kernel where noattr2 did something, the following will
happen:

a) V4 filesystem, noattr2 actually matters for the mount, and it should
show up in /proc/mounts.  If it doesn't, then the test should not run.

b) V5 filesystem, noattr2 is impossible so the mount fails.  Test will
not run.

With 6.18 the behavior changes:

a) V4 filesystem, noattr2 doesn't do anything, the mount succeeds, but
noattr2 does not show up in /proc/mounts.  The test should not run.

b) V5 filesystem, noattr2 now no longer fails the mount but it doesn't
show up in /proc/mounts either.  The test still should not run.

Well, yes, the default will still be 4k on an old kernel that doesn't
support STATX_WRITE_ATOMIC.  For kernels that do support that flag,
write_size will now be whatever the filesystem claims is the minimum
write unit.
