Subject: [PATCH] xfs: add regression test for swapext reflux
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 10:05:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007170507.GJ2705364@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007170227.GH2705364@frogsfrogsfrogs>
From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>
This is a regression test for a bug that Norbert Szetei reported in the
XFS swapext ioctl. I've ported his reproducer program to fstests so
that everyone can run it.
