Ted,

I have addressed the review comments provided by Eric. Hence three out of
the four patches in the test-working branch have new changes. I also got
UBIFS to use CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION instead of the per-filesystem config
symbol.

I am currently executing fstests to verify the changes.


Eric,

When executing generic/900, I noticed that sometimes xfs_io would get stuck
for an indefinite period. /proc/<pid of xfs_io>/stack showed that the task was
stuck in tty_read() inside the kernel. The following change fixed it,

diff --git a/tests/generic/900 b/tests/generic/900
index 290889ce..0831eed4 100755
--- a/tests/generic/900
+++ b/tests/generic/900

xfs_io gets into interactive mode when invoked without a "-c cmd" string.

However, I am not able recreate the scenario once again without the above
changes applied. I am not sure about what changed.
