The issue tested by LTP testcase inotify07 has been fixed by commit: 31747eda41ef "ovl: hash directory inodes for fsnotify" >From this upstream commit: "The reported issue dates back to initial version of overlayfs, but this patch depends on ovl_inode code that was introduced in kernel v4.13."
Our Xenial 4.4 kernel doesn't have the ovl_inode code, so the solution is to blacklist this testcase for kernels older than 4.13. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774387 Title: inotify07 in LTP syscall test failed with X kernel Status in ubuntu-kernel-tests: In Progress Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Xenial: Won't Fix Status in linux source package in Artful: Won't Fix Bug description: The "inotify07" from the LTP syscall tests have failed on a testing node with X-LTS i386 kernel installed. <<<test_start>>> tag=inotify07 stime=1527762360 cmdline="inotify07" contacts="" analysis=exit <<<test_output>>> tst_test.c:1015: INFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s inotify07.c:206: INFO: ovl/test_dir ino=27918358 inotify07.c:216: INFO: ovl/test_dir ino=27918358 inotify07.c:157: FAIL: didn't get event: mask=40000004 inotify07.c:157: FAIL: didn't get event: mask=00000020 inotify07.c:157: FAIL: didn't get event: mask=00000008 inotify07.c:157: FAIL: didn't get event: mask=00000004 Summary: passed 0 failed 4 skipped 0 warnings 0 <<<execution_status>>> initiation_status="ok" duration=0 termination_type=exited termination_id=1 corefile=no cutime=0 cstime=37 <<<test_end>>> ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-4.4.0-127-generic 4.4.0-127.153~14.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: User Name 4.4.0-127.153~14.04.1-generic 4.4.128 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-127-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.27 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu May 31 10:19:30 2018 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: linux-lts-xenial UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-kernel-tests/+bug/1774387/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
