Hello,

I've prepared test for xfstests suite that runs some checks for ext4 
mount option max_dir_size_kb introduced in Linux Kernel 3.7, could 
someone please look on it?

Thanks,
Alexander Tsvetkov

For future reference, inline patches as plain text are best.

Since this script is /bin/bash, I'd recommend to use $(...) instead
of `...` for subshells, since the former can be nested, is much easier
to see the start/end, and isn't confused for '...' quotes.

This "*$" looks like a bug.  Do you mean "$*"?

(style) spaces around operators, and no need for extra () around
multiplication.

Is there a reason to use mktemp instead of just some sequential names
like item="f.$limit.$i" or similar?  There are several problems with
the complexity here that could be avoided.

- since mktemp is creating temp files in $TMPDIR by default and "-u"
  is unlinking them, this is doing double the work needed
- the "continue" below implies that some items may not be created,
  due to name collisions (since mktemp doesn't actually see the entries
  created in the "real" directory), so fewer than $MAX_INUM entries may
  be created, causing the test to be inconsistent

This could just be something simple like:

         tmp_name=$(mktemp $dir/f.XXXXXX)

and if we need to get directory creation involved, then something like:

         [ "$2" = "mkdir" ] && MKTEMP_OPT="-d"
         tmp_name=$(mktemp $MKTEMP_OPT $dir/f.XXXXXX 2>$tmp.out)

I see that there are callers of _create_items() that are not "touch"
or "mkdir", but I don't think those are adding much value to this
test (more on that below).

Use $(...), especially since this style is already used here.

It isn't clear why you disable the filetype option?  That has been a
standard ext2/3/4 feature for 10+ years, so it doesn't make sense to
test without it.

It makes sense to test both with and without the dir_index option
(this is enabled by default for ext4), but it doesn't make sense to
only test with it disabled.  Better to increase the LIMIT1 and LIMIT2
values to allow testing with this enabled (e.g. 16 and 32) as well as
disabled.

It isn't clear there is any value to test with symlinks, hard links,
and FIFOs, since the limit is imposed in the common code for inserting
the name into the directory, and it doesn't care what type of inode
the name is referencing.

I think this message is backward. testdir has a limit of $LIMIT1, and
testdir/subdir has a limit of $LIMIT2.

Do not call a file on the scratch device "testdir". That name has
specific meaning: it's the mount point for the test device. Using
the same variable name that differs only different syntax for
somethingon the scratch device is not a good idea.

$here is already set to the current xfstests run location.

No. The harness will unmount the scratch device if it was mounted.
Unless you need to do specific cleanup fo rthe test, do not modify
the standard cleanup function. At minimum, it still needs to remove
all the $tmp files created during the test run.

"_" prefix is reserved for library functions.

Comments are generally required to explain the intent of regexs that
look like line noise.

8 space tabs.

I thought this was going to clean up the TEST_DIR, but as per above,
it's actually doing stuff to the scratch device. "remove_files()"
is good enough....

no need to create a loop device. mount -o loop will do what you
want. Also, $MKFS_EXT4_PROG (or whatever the var is) shoul dbe used.
As should _mount. And 8 space tabs.

We use $tmp as the location for temporary files in tests

_fail?

This all seems rather convoluted. You're creating a tmp file to
capture the error, then if you get an ENOSPC error you dump it to
the debug file, otherwise you dump an error message to main output
to cause the test to eventually fail?
