[LTP] [PATCH v4 0/3] Increase coverage for swapon syscall

[LTP] [PATCH v4 0/3] Increase coverage for swapon syscall

[Andrea Cervesato]

Complete the EINVAL coverage on invalid input data and create a new test
to verify discarding pages functionalities.

Signed-off-by: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
---
Changes in v4:
- replaced the manual /proc/swaps check with .needs_kconfigs = "CONFIG_SWAP=y"
- added .needs_cmds = "mkswap" to make sure that the binary exists
- switched from raw tst_syscall to standard swapon() and swapoff()
- used TST_EXP_PASS() to check the swapon() call
- truncated the backing file before checking FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE support
- added SAFE_FSYNC() before mkswap to flush data to disk
- changed TTERRNO to TERRNO for swapoff() errors
- removed redundant static flag resets in cleanup()
- added .skip_filesystems to skip filesystems that do not support punch hole
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/20260828-swapon_discard_coverage-v3-0-136924a1a730@suse.com

Changes in v3:
- better description for fallbacks
- swapon02: make sure we swapoff() if swapon() accidentally pass
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20260828-swapon_discard_coverage-v2-0-e55a86dad729@suse.com

Changes in v2:
- ensure buffer is flushed after discard using fsync()
- add messages to show what test cases we are running
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20260827-swapon_discard_coverage-v1-0-633bcb11c181@suse.com

SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE and SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES were added in Linux
3.11. Add `.min_kver = "3.11"`; older kernels reject these bits and the
test reports TFAIL instead of TCONF.

Invalid swap flags started returning EINVAL in Linux 3.4. Add
`.min_kver = "3.4"` so the test skips older kernels, which may accept the
flags and produce spurious failures.

Verdict - Needs revision

Note:

The agent can sometimes produce false positives although often its
findings are genuine. If you find issues with the review, please
comment this email or ignore the suggestions.

both can be ignored, we don't support those kernels. I will add a
rule to the Agent so we remove this once for all.

[LTP] [PATCH v4 2/3] swapon04: Add test for discard flags

[Andrea Cervesato]

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

Verify that swapon(2) discard flags (SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD,
SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_ONCE, SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD_PAGES) correctly control
swapon-time area discard on block devices supporting discard operations.

Could these reports use TERRNO instead? These calls bypass TEST(), so
TTERRNO reads the TST_ERR left by the earlier successful swapon() call.
That value is normally zero, causing a real swapoff() failure to be
reported as "Success".

Could the description state why root is required? Root-only tests are
expected to document the reason; here swapon(), swapoff(), and loop-device
setup require it.

Could this use TERRNO as well? On this recovery path the preceding
TST_EXP_FAIL() captured a successful swapon(), leaving TST_ERR equal to
zero, so TTERRNO cannot report the swapoff() failure's errno.

Verdict - Needs revision
