[PATCH 2/3] xfstests: replace $seq.full with $seqres.full in ext4/305 and generic/308

[Eryu Guan]

We use $seqres.full to record verbose output now, replace $seq.full with
$seqres.full in ext4/305 and generic/308.

Hey Eryu,

Where is the patch [0/3] ;)
Also patches should be submitted as inline attachments.

Thanks for the cleanup patch.
Looks good.

[PATCH 3/3] xfstests generic 310: fix common file path and other cleanups

[Eryu Guan]

1. add one space between # and test description
2. remove creator/owner info
3. fix common/rc and common/filter path so they can be sourced correctly
4. no need to remove $seq.full cause it's not used(or if verbose output
   is needed, $seqres.full should be used)

[Rich Johnston]

Hi Eryu,

Thanks for this cleanup patch. I was going to revert patch "bbaf78c0" 
which introduced test generic/310 but will wait and see if Zhao will 
provide more information which could be added to this patch.

Hi Zhao,

I did see both threads running at the same time, but the more I look at 
this, the more I am a loss as to what this test is doing.

Will you expand this a little please.  I should have asked for more 
justification the first time I reviewed this. Please provide what bug
this is testing or what failure/weakness this test exposes.  If there is 
a commit this is related to, please reference it.

Thanks

I didn't look into the test deeply but I found the test seems to run for
hours on my 3.9-rc4 test box, not sure what goes wrong here.

When I ran it on ext2, ext3 and ext4 which has dir_index feature disabled, I got something like this:

EXT3-fs error (device loop1): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #34817: rec_len is \
smaller than minimal - offset=993, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT3-fs error \
(device loop1): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #34817: rec_len is smaller than \
minimal - offset=1009, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT3-fs error (device loop1): \
ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #34817: rec_len is smaller than minimal - \
offset=993, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 EXT3-fs error (device loop1): \
ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #34817: rec_len is smaller than minimal - \
                offset=1009, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0
...

If we configured errors=remount-ro, the filesystem will become read-only.

And you can find more infomation in http://marc.info/?t=136123715300001&r=1&w=2 as i mentioned.
If this message is needed i'll add it in the patch v2.

So what is the criteria for a test failure?  The test body is only
reading from the filesystem, so a ro,remount won't cause an obvious
failure of the test.

Perhaps the test should have more comments in it than "read this
URL" to explain what it is doing and what constitutes a failure?

Cheers,

Dave.

There haven't a obvious criteria for a test failure, you should see it
from dmesg while you run the test.

Yes, i'll add more comments to explain it!

Which means for most cases (i.e. automated test harnesses), a test
failure will go unnoticed.

The test *must* detect failures if it is to be useful as a
regression test. That's the whole point of a regression test harness
- that you don't have to do any extra work to determine if a test
has passed or failed as it is determined for you by the harness.

Given that there is a failure that can be captured, then I'd suggest
that this needs to be captured as well...

Cheers,

Dave.
