Message-ID: <20140411214623.GD10174@wallace> Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2014 17:46:23 -0400 From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@...il.com> To: xfs@....sgi.com Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] generic: add fallocate() check to generic/311 Generic/311 fails when run on a test filesystem that does not support fallocate(). Its I/O load is produced by fsync-tester, which uses fallocate() system calls to allocate blocks for some of its test cases. This causes EOPNOTSUPP failures when the test is run on indirect block-mapped ext4 filesystems. Verify that the test filesystem supports fallocate() before proceeding with the test, checking for block allocation capabilities. Also, fix a minor error message typo.
