Hi all,
While trying to add more punch hole tests to xfstest, I found that test 252
hangs on ext4 due to a loop in xfsprogs that does not exit. XFS gets out of
this loop because there is logic in the loop that looks for the last extent
flag and breaks out. But it looks like ext4 does not return a last extent when
the file has a hole at the end. I am not sure if this is the correct behavior
or not, so I will copy the ext4 folks on this too. Below is a copy of the fix
for xfsprogs:
diff --git a/io/fiemap.c b/io/fiemap.c
index fa990cc..81fc92c 100644
--- a/io/fiemap.c
+++ b/io/fiemap.c
@@ -246,7 +246,7 @@ fiemap_f(
flg_w, _("FLAGS"));
}
- while (!last && ((cur_extent + 1) != max_extents)) {
+ while (!last && (cur_extent <= max_extents)) {
if (max_extents)
num_extents = min(num_extents,
max_extents - (cur_extent + 1));
It looks like the loop enters with last=0, cur_extents=0, and max_extents = 0,
and on the first iteration cur_extents get set to 2, so we dont see
((cur_extent + 1) == max_extents for a very long time. I doubt the logic was
meant to work that way, so this patch should fix it, but I wanted to make sure
that the fiemap for ext4 is working as intended too. Feed back appreciated!
Thx all!
