Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] selftests/nolibc: Add a very basic test for fallocate()
Date: Thu,  7 May 2026 18:03:53 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507090353.356764-4-daniel@thingy.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507090353.356764-1-daniel@thingy.jp>

1: Create a tmp file, fallocate() to make it a bit bigger, check the
size is what was expected.

2: Try to fallocate() (1 << 20), this should work.

3: Try to fallocate() (1 << 52), this should cause ENOSPC or EFBIG.

2 and 3 are basically to make sure if the offset or size are split
into a pair of registers for the syscall that we are passing them
the correct way around.

This test requires /tmp to be a tmpfs and not ramfs or something
else so before running the tests check what /tmp is and if its
not tmpfs skip the test.
