Commit Message

Zorro Lang July 26, 2023, 8:03 p.m. UTC
Darrick suggests that fstests can provide a simple smoketest, by running
several generic filesystem smoke testing for five minutes apiece. Since
there are only five smoke tests, this is effectively a 16min super-quick
test.

With gcov enabled, running these tests yields about ~75% coverage for
iomap and ~60% for xfs; or ~50% for ext4 and ~75% for ext4; and ~45% for
btrfs.  Coverage was about ~65% for the pagecache.

To implement that, this patch add a new "-t" option to ./check, and a
new directory "template" under xfstests/, then we can have smoketest
template, also can have more other testing templates.

Hi,

This patch uses another way to achieve the smoketest requirement[1]. When
I reviewed the patch from Darrick [2], I thought "smoketest" might not be
the last one requirement likes that. I don't want to give each kind of
tests a separated option. But we might can leave a hook for more fs-devel
who have good testing templates for fstests.

Although we have test groups, but those group names are too complex for
the users who not always use fstests. So I'm thinking about providing
some simple templates to run fstests, these templates base on test groups
and some fstests global parameters, help users to know what kind of
test they can do.

Feel free to discuss, and if most of you prefer the original patch [2],
I'll also think about merging the original one :)

Thanks,
Zorro

Why not simply put

SOAK_DURATION=4m
GROUP_LIST=smoketest

in configs/smoketest.config and tell people to run

HOST_OPTIONS=configs/smoketest.config ./check

?

Hmm... I think if replace the HOST_OPTIONS, we need to write all TEST_DEV,
TEST_DIR, SCRATCH_DEV .... into the new HOST_OPTIONS to, to replace the default
local.config :

# HOST_OPTIONS=templates/smoketest ./check
Warning: need to define parameters for host hp-dl380pg8-01
       or set variables:
        TEST_DIR TEST_DEV

We can't provide a common test template with known device names, fs type, and mkfs
or mount options and so on, due to these things are prepared and specified by users.
But we can recommend known test groups and some general parameters.

Thanks,
Zorro
