Re: [LTP] [PATCH 4/4] libswap: add Btrfs noCOW attribute setting for swap files

[Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>]

Hi Li,

> The patch aims to ensure swap files on Btrfs filesystems are created
> with the appropriate FS_NOCOW_FL attribute, which is necessary to
> disable CoW (Copy-on-Write) for swap files, perthe btrfs(5) manual page.
> This change is gated behind a kernel version check to ensure compatibility
> with the system's capabilities.

I guess we don't want to break all testing due ioctl failure, right?
Otherwise I would use SAFE_IOCTL().

And here as well.

This is redundant new line, please remove \n before merging.

nit: make check reports various of formatting issues (on master there are only
two). Would you dare to fix them? (some of them are added in the first commit).

Maybe using just fs_type (long), i.e. avoid conversion to char * via
tst_fs_type_name()? Or am I missing something?

	long fs_type = tst_fs_type(swapfile);
	...
	if (fs_type == TST_BTRFS_MAGIC) {


Kind regards,
Petr
