This test is motivated by an fsync issue discovered in btrfs. The issue was that we could lose file data, that was previously fsync'ed successfully, if we end up adding a hard link to our inode and then persist the fsync log later via an fsync of other inode for example. This is similar to my previous test, except that in this test the inode that ends up losing data was created (with some data) in a transaction different from the one we made an fsync. The btrfs issue was fixed by the following linux kernel patch: Btrfs: fix fsync data loss after adding hard link to inode Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> --- V2: Updated two comments with more details about the issue. tests/generic/043 | 112 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/generic/043.out | 17 ++++++++ tests/generic/group | 1 + 3 files changed, 130 insertions(+) create mode 100755 tests/generic/043 create mode 100644 tests/generic/043.out
