Message-ID: <20180110211905.4ulqeqnwbs2bh66o@localhost.localdomain> Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:19:05 -0500 From: Eric Whitney <enwlinux@...il.com> To: fstests@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] common/rc: ext4 doesn't support O_DIRECT with data journaling Modify _require_odirect() to skip O_DIRECT tests if the ext4 mount option data=journal has been applied. Because ext4 disables its O_DIRECT support when in data journaling mode, no significant value is obtained by running these tests and they consume a significant amount of run time. Additionally, this change eliminates the need to triage false negative O_DIRECT test results caused by test problems, as has occurred from time to time.
