XFS had a bug that lead to a possible out-of-order log recovery situation (e.g., replay a stale modification from the log over more recent metadata in destination buffer). This resulted in false corruption reports during log recovery and thus mount failure. This condition is caused by system crash or filesystem shutdown shortly after a successful log recovery. Add a test to run a combined workload, fs shutdown and log recovery loop known to reproduce the problem on affected kernels. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <redacted> --- This test reproduces the problem described and addressed in the following patchset: http://oss.sgi.com/pipermail/xfs/2016-August/050840.html It runs anywhere from 50-100s in the couple of environments I've tested on so far and reproduces the problem for me with 100% reliability. Note that the bug only affects crc=1 kernels.
Looks good overall, and tested with the above patchset applied and test passed without problems. Some minor issues inline

We need a '_require_command "$KILLALL_PROGA" killall' and use $KILLALL_PROG in the test.

I'm wondering if this test can be made generic by adding a "_require_scratch_shutdown"? Like generic/042 to generic/051 Thanks, Eryu
