[PATCH v2 0/2] Annonate fstests with possible reasons for failure

[PATCH v2 0/2] Annonate fstests with possible reasons for failure

[Amir Goldstein]

Zorro,

This series adresses your review comments on v1.
Specifically, I dropped the controversial patch #3 and the
SKIP_KNOWN_ISSUES run option.

To clarify, multiple annotations could be used in each test,
for example:
 _fixed_by_kernel_commit 09889695864 xfs: foo
 _fixed_by_kernel_commit 46464565465 ext4: bar
 _fixed_by_git_commit e2fsprogs 62464626 e2fs: baz
 _fixed_in_version xfsprogs v5.15

On test failure, all the hints will be printed to output as *possible*
reason for failure.

These annotation and printed hints are inspired by a similar LTP feature.

These annotation could be used by testers to auto-generate expunge list
for testing stable kernels from the information in _fixed_by_kernel_commit
and _fixed_in_kernel_version. This trivial task is left is an excercise.

Thanks,
Amir.

Changes since v1:
- Rename s/_known_issue_before_kernel/_fixed_in_kernel_version (zlang)
- Add generic helpers for non-kernel fixes (zlang)
- Drop _known_issue_on_fs (zlang)
- Clarify multiple hints are allowed (tytso)

[PATCH v2 1/2] common: support black listing fs in _supported_fs()

[Amir Goldstein]

For example:
_supported_fs ^xfs

There is no need to specify "generic" when using a block list
"all other fs are supported" is implied.

Converted some generic tests that open code this condition without
emitting a meaningful reason.

More generic test like generic/186,187 could use a block list, but
were not converted because they emit some meaningful reason:
  _notrun "Can't fragment free space on btrfs."

[PATCH v2 2/2] common: print hints for reasons of test failures

[Amir Goldstein]

Introduce helpers _fixed_by_{kernel,git}_commit() and
_fixed_in_{kernel_,}version() that can be used to hint testers why a
test might be failing and aid in auto-generating of expunge lists for
downstream kernel testing.

A test may be annotated with multiple hints, for example:

_fixed_by_kernel_commit 09889695864 xfs: foo
_fixed_by_kernel_commit 46464565465 ext4: bar
_fixed_in_version xfsprogs v5.15

Annotate fix kernel commits for some overlayfs tests.
Annotate fix kernel version for some overlayfs tests testing
for legacy behavior whose fixes are not likely to be backported
to stable kernels.

This is modeled after LTP's 'make filter-known-fails' and
print_failure_hints() using struct tst_tag annotations.
