Test overlayfs over xfs with and without "volatile" mount option.

Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>

Zorro,

I was going to make a generic test from xfs/546, so that overlayfs could
also run it, but then I realized that ext4 does not behave as xfs in
that case (it returns success on syncfs post shutdown).

Unless and until this behavior is made a standard, I made an overlayfs
specialized test instead, which checks for underlying fs xfs.
While at it, I also added test coverage for the "volatile" mount options
that is expected to return succuss in that case regardles of the
behavior of the underlying fs.

Thanks,
Amir.

As I said elsewhere in the thread, I think that's a bug in ext4 that
needs fixing, not a divergence of a testcase.  Perhaps we ought to
promote xfs/546 to generic/ and (if Ted disagrees with me about the EIO)
add a _notrun for the overlayfs-on-ext4 case?

Well, I have the generic test ready, but it would also need to notrun on ext4
I would rather wait to see what Ted says.

I don't mind promoting xfs/546 to generic/ if there is an agreement,
but since I need test coverage for the overlayfs "volatile" mount option,
I think I will have added this overlayfs test variant anyway.

If ext4 shutdown code changes and there is a general agreement that
the behavior in xfs/546 is expected from all filesystems, then I will be
able to remove the requirement of "only over xfs" from this overlayfs
test variant.

Thanks,
Amir.

Agree, move xfs/546 to generic/, and help it to work with overlay. If ext4
won't change its behavior, then add comment and notrun.

Oh, the test steps are much different from xfs/546. If we move x/546 to generic/,
can overlay reproduce this bug by that? If not, I think we can have this overlay
specific test case at first, and "move x/546 to generic" can be another job.

Yes and no.

For overlayfs to support this as a generic test, the helper
_scratch_shutdown_handle must be used and the shutdown+syncfs
command must be complicated to something like this:

$XFS_IO_PROG -x -c "open $(_scratch_shutdown_handle)" -c 'shutdown -f
' -c close -c syncfs $SCRATCH_MNT | \
       grep -vF '[00'

This is because overlayfs itself does not support the shutdown ioctl.
If the test is moved to generic as it is we get an error when running
overlayfs:

    XFS_IOC_GOINGDOWN: Inappropriate ioctl for device

because _require_scratch_shutdown is "supported" by overlayfs
but only when the _scratch_shutdown helpers are used.

If the test is to be moved as is, it will need to opt-out of overlayfs
explicitly.

The reason I posted the overlayfs test is because for a while I noticed
that we do not have test coverage for "volatile" mount option
and adding this test coverage to this test was a very low hanging fruit.
So I would like to keep the overlayfs test regardless of the decision
about moving x/546 to generic.

Thanks,
Amir.

Yeah, I know this.

I mean you have a "-o volatile" option test, that's an overlayfs specific
mount option. If you need that test, that's an overlay specific test, that
part can be an overlay specific test case. If not, we can use a generic
case (from xfs/546) to cover overlay and other fs.

BTW, we actually we have a common _scratch_shutdown helper, I'm wondering
if it works for this test? Likes:

  _scratch_shutdown -f
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c syncfs $SCRATCH_MNT

Can this work?

I need the -o volatile test regardless of moving xfs/546 to generic.
That's why I posted this patch.

Nope, because $XFS_IO_PROG -c syncfs $SCRATCH_MNT
will fail (EIO) to open the directory after shutdown.
That's why the dance with -c open -c close is needed.

OK, let's have two patches, one moves xfs/546 to generic/, the other
is this overlay specific test case.

Oh, although below line:
  $XFS_IO_PROG -x -c "open $(_scratch_shutdown_handle)" -c 'shutdown -f ' -c close -c syncfs $SCRATCH_MNT

trys to shudown on $(_scratch_shutdown_handle), then syncfs on $SCRATCH_MNT too.
But the difference is it opens $SCRATCH_MNT before shutdown, so that's what you
need.

Hi Zorro,

I thought that you agreed to include the overlay specific test overlay/087,
but I still do not see it in for-next.

Did I misunderstand you, or was it accidently left out of for-next?

Regarding moving xfs/546 to generic/, I had sent a patch to ext4 [1],
but no comment from Ted yet.

Correct, this is why the dance with -c open -c close is needed when the test is
overlayfs specific and/or generic.

Thanks,
Amir.

Sorry, I thought you'd like to send another patch with this patch in your
next patchset. OK, I'll check this one singly, and try to merge it this
week.

If this's accepted by ext4, do you still this notrun?

  [ "$OVL_BASE_FSTYP" == "xfs" ] || \                                                                                                    
	_notrun "base fs $OVL_BASE_FSTYP has unknown behavior with syncfs after shutdown"

And what about other fs (besides xfs and ext4).

If/when the patch is accepted by ext4 we could remove this.

> And what about other fs (besides xfs and ext4).

The truth is that I don't know how all filesystems behave -
If ext4 accepts the patch and we then move xfs/546 to generic/,
we will surely find out...
and then we can remove the xfs restriction from the overlayfs test.

But for now, I need the overlayfs test to provide test coverage to
* 34b4540e6646 - ovl: don't set the superblock's errseq_t manually
that just got merged upstream.

Thanks,
Amir.
