Hi, Tsutomu-san,

Yes, I did use such method before, but Dave said it's better to use
unified interface to sync a filesystem other than the specialized
one.

So I still use sync as Dave said.


Mainly because sync is what users will use to make sure their data
is safe. filesystem specific tools have a habit of doing special
stuff to sync a filesystem, so it may not reflect the way users
expect the system to behaviour when they run sync.

The other option is this:

_syncfs()
{
mntpt=$1

$XFS_IO_PROG -c syncfs $mntpt
}

_sync_test()
{
_syncfs $TEST_DIR
}

_sync_scratch()
{
_syncfs $SCRATCH_MNT
}

which only runs sync on the filesystem that needs syncing (via the
syncfs() syscall)


I think that syncfs is better instead of sync because the syncing of
the specified filesystem is necessary.

Thanks,
Tsutomu


I'm OK changing the sync to _sync_scratch().

But no one in btrfs testcase uses that function and I didn't see the 
reason to specifically call _sync_scratch() instead of sync() BTW.


Thanks,
Qu



Cheers,

Dave.

I agree that sync and syncfs is not different for this test.

However, sync is syncing of all filesystems, and, syncfs is syncing
of the specified filesystem only.
Therefor, I think that it is better to use sync and syncfs properly
according to the necessity.

Thanks,
Tsutomu

[PATCH v2] fstests: btrfs: Add regression test for reserved space leak.

2015-08-04 Thread Qu Wenruo
The regression is introduced in v4.2-rc1, with the big btrfs qgroup
change.
The problem is, qgroup reserved space is never freed, causing even we
increase the limit, we can still hit the EDQUOT much faster than it
should.

Isn't '$BTRFS_UTIL_PROG filesystem sync' better instead of 'sync'?

Thanks,

Hi, Tsutomu-san,

Yes, I did use such method before, but Dave said it's better to use
unified interface to sync a filesystem other than the specialized
one.

So I still use sync as Dave said.


Mainly because sync is what users will use to make sure their data
is safe. filesystem specific tools have a habit of doing special
stuff to sync a filesystem, so it may not reflect the way users
expect the system to behaviour when they run sync.

The other option is this:

_syncfs()
{
mntpt=$1

$XFS_IO_PROG -c syncfs $mntpt
}

_sync_test()
{
_syncfs $TEST_DIR
}

_sync_scratch()
{
_syncfs $SCRATCH_MNT
}

which only runs sync on the filesystem that needs syncing (via the
syncfs() syscall)


I think that syncfs is better instead of sync because the syncing of
the specified filesystem is necessary.

Thanks,
Tsutomu



Cheers,

Dave.
