The various fallocate flags are mostly ifdef'd for backward
compatibility with the exception of the associated test_fallocate()
calls to verify functionality at runtime. I suspect the reason for
this was to avoid ifdef ugliness around having to clear the runtime
flag for each operation, but unfortunately this defeats the purpose
of the ifdef protection everywhere else.

Factor out the fallocate related test calls into a new helper and
add the appropriate ifdefs.

The concept looks fine, but collapse and zero range have been in the
kernel for a decade now, do we really need to have ifdef tests for them?

Probably not.. but why even bother worrying about individual flags? The
insert and unshare flags have been around for 9 and 8 years
respectively, none of these were fully ifdef'd from the beginning, and
I'm not aware of anyone that has actually complained.

I'm not convinced that this patch matters for anybody in practice. I
included it just because it was simple enough to include the minimum
mechanical fix and I was slightly curious if somebody could come up with
a more elegant solution. In the spirit of being practical, maybe the
better approach here is to just remove the (at least the falloc flag
related) ifdefs entirely? We can always add them back if somebody
complains...

As this patch is still controversial, I'll merge the other one at first, to
catch up the release of this week. We can talk this one later, if you still
hope to have it :)

Thanks. In thinking more about it.. my reasoning above was that it seems
like the value of these ifdefs is to avoid disruption when new
functionality is introduced, but at the same time the fstests user base
may not be necessarily all that interested in eternal backwards
compatibility for ancient runtimes, etc. Therefore, I wonder if it's
reasonable to have an (informal) expiration date for when we can clear
out some of this cruft to keep the code cleaner and more maintainable
going forward.

So I largely agree with Darrick's point, it's just that personally I'm
less interested in discussion over which fallocate flags to include or
not because to my mind that suggests we might as well just drop the
ifdefs entirely. That said, I'm not all that invested beyond just trying
to be proactive since I happened to be hacking in this area, so if you
guys want to leave things as is, or agree on a subset of flags to ifdef,
just let me know and I'll drop it or send a v2.

Usually I just let Christoph complain and remove the ifdefs, but if I
have to use my own rule, it would be that ifdefs and ./configure
trickery isn't necessary for any symbol that is at least 5 years old.

Recent complaints on the mailing list have caused me to revise that to
10 years old though (see recent memfd_create fixes). :)

I also remember that a lot of the old crufty ifdef stuff (iirc) was kept
around so that fstests would continue to run on old RHELs.  Once in a
while our QA folks rebase fstests to latest, but they also tend to patch
back in whatever ./configure magic they need for 2.6 era kernels.

That's kind of what I figured.. even if folks were running on old envs,
maybe there's enough incompatibility to work through in extreme enough
cases that customization is required anyways and we just don't hear
about it upstream.

Anyways, that all seems reasonable to me. Given that it looks like this
has been broken for the last 8+ years or so, attached is an alternative
proposal to slightly bend your 10 year rule in this case... ;).

As before, this is not much of a big deal to me either way. Zorro, this
kind of goes in the opposite direction of your comments to patch 1 where
I added the missing ifdefs, so I'd defer to you as to whether you want
to go this route or just leave things as is for the time being. The
attached patch also removes the ifdefs added in patch 1, so there should
be no need to edit patch 1 either way. Thanks.

From 710f88a08a978c2c6ae2e9f92a35da08aa45db72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] fsx: remove unnecessary fallocate flag ifdefs
Content-Type: text/plain

fallocate mode flags are typically ifdef'd when introduced to
provide some backwards compatibility and minimize disruption for
users who might not have picked up the latest supporting bits in
their dev and test environments. As it is, most of these flags have
been used outside of ifdef protection for runtime functionality
detection for quite some time, so this apparently hasn't been
providing much practical benefit.

fallocate runtime functionality detection goes back 8-10 years now
in some cases, without any known complaints upstream. Therefore,
clean out some of the older ifdef cruft as a housekeeping exercise.
This can be undone if it turns out to be problematic for any current
fstests users.

I prefer "10 years", due to most of RHELs support 10 years (or a bit longer:)
I think some other Enterprice systems are similar.
