when mkfs.btrfs on a thin provision device which has very small
backing size and big virtual size, all code works well in
mkfs.btrfs until close_ctree() is called.
close_ctree() fails to sync device due to small backing size
while closing devices.
However, mkfs returns 0 in such situation which causes failure of
xfstests generic/405.

So, let mkfs returns nonzero value if previous steps succeeded but
close_ctree() failed.
Then xfstests generic/405 passes now.

Applied, thanks. Can you please write a test for that?

Sorry for the previous reply in HTML format which is not delivered to
the mail list.

I mean there is already xfstests generic/405 for the situation.
Thin provision devices need to call dmsetup to setup.
I wonder If calling dmsetup in progs tests is acceptable or not.
If it is, I will do it.

Thanks,
Su

Yes dmsetup is already used eg in test
mkfs-tests/005-long-device-name-for-ssd .
