[xfstests PATCH v3 1/5] generic: add a writeback error handling test

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Wed May 31 2017 - 09:08:32 EST


I'm working on a set of kernel patches to change how writeback errors
are handled and reported in the kernel. Instead of reporting a
writeback error to only the first fsync caller on the file, I aim
to make the kernel report them once on every file description.

This patch adds a test for the new behavior. Basically, open many fds
to the same file, turn on dm_error, write to each of the fds, and then
fsync them all to ensure that they all get an error back.

To do that, I'm adding a new tools/dmerror script that the C program
can use to load the error table. For now, that's all it can do, but
we can fill it out with other commands as necessary.
