What is tested

aio-stress

aio-stress

Will open or create each file on the command line, and start a series of aio to it. Aio is done in a rotating loop. First file1 gets 8 requests, then file2, then file3 etc. As each file finishes writing, it is switched to reads.

Yes

Asynchronous I/O

build-kernel

buildkernel.py

This script will run on each node and will control the build process.

Python

1*

Yes

Concurrent I/O, lock migration, dlm transaction, heartbeat and almost all types of operations one can do in a filesystem.

run_buildkernel.py

Will open or create each file on the command line, and start a series of aio to it. Aio is done in a rotating loop. First file1 gets 8 requests, then file2, then file3 etc. As each file finishes writing, it is switched to reads.

64**

Yes

Concurrent I/O, lock migration, dlm transaction, heartbeat and almost all types of operations one can do in a filesystem.

forkwriter.c

This test launches forks P processes each of which create a file with the same name and issue few writes of few bytes each before closing the file and exiting. The parent process meanwhile waits for the childs to all die before launching the next set of P processes. The parent process loops L times. This test really has no cluster relevance if running in stand-alone mode. Needs a script to coordinate cluster test.

C

1*

Yes

fsck-test

fsck-test.sh

Will test all conditions that fsck.ocfs2 is supposed to recover.

C

Yes

Test fsck.ocfs2.

Yes

DLM stress.

lvb-torture

Test mkfs.ocfs2.

mmap-test

mmap_test

This is a simple test to see if mmap behaves correctly at the end of the file's size. It first writes up to the existing end of the file. This should work. Then it writes just past the end of the file. This should error. This test really has no cluster relevance.

C and LAM/MPI

1*

Yes

Check if mmap works properly.

mmap-truncate

mmap_truncate.c

Stress file system stability by testing end of file boundary conditions with mmap by racing truncates and writes to a shared writeable region.

C

1*

Yes

Test file boundaries with mmap.

multi-node-mmap

multi_mmap

Will test to see if mmap behaves correctly in a multi node configuration. Requires at least two processes. The rank zero process preps a file by opening it O_CREAT|O_TRUNC and filling the file with a pattern. All nodes then open the file and mmap(MAP_SHARED|PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) it's entire length. In a round robin fashion, a node is picked to write a pattern into their pre-determined block and the other nodes read the whole file to verify the expected pattern.

C and LAM/MPI

1*

Yes

Multi node mmap.

network-failure

test_netfail.py

Python and LAM/MPI

64**

Yes

Test file removal while other processes have it open.

open_delete.c

Requires at least two processes. The rank zero process preps a file by O_CREAT|O_TRUNC and keep opening it. All nodes then delete this file.

C and LAM/MPI

64**

Yes

remove-slot

remove_slot.sh

Script to test the remove slot feature.

Shell Script

1*

Yes

Test the remove slot feature in tunefs.ocfs2.

remove_slot.c

This program used to create some boudary situation to test whether tunefs.ocfs2 can work OK with removing slots. When we have orphan files or have some blocks allocated in truncate log or local alloc, we can't remove the slots, so the option CREATE_ORPHAN_FILE, CREATE_TRUNCATE_LOG and CREATE_LOCAL_ALLOC are used to check it.

C

1*

Yes

rename-write-race

rename_write_race.sh

This test launches logwriter that extends the file in a loop while this script keeps renaming the filename. This test was useful in fixing a race in ocfs2 in which rename was flushing stale inode->i_size to disk.

1*

Yes

Test basic functionality

reserve-space

reserve_space.c

reserve_space uses the space reservation/deallocation ioctls based on user request.

C

Script to test the remove slot feature.

C

1*

Yes

splice_write.c

This program used to create some boudary situation to test whether tunefs.ocfs2 can work OK with removing slots. When we have orphan files or have some blocks allocated in truncate log or local alloc, we can't remove the slots, so the option CREATE_ORPHAN_FILE, CREATE_TRUNCATE_LOG and CREATE_LOCAL_ALLOC are used to check it.

C

1*

Yes
