Collection of various notes about development practices, how-to's or checklists.

Adding a new ioctl, extending an existing one
- add code to strace so the ioctl calls are parsed into a human readable form. Most of the ioctls are already implemented and can be used a reference.
Kernel config options
Testing
Compile-time config options for kernel that can help debugging, testing. They usually take a hit on performance or resources (memory) so they should be selected wisely. The options in bold should be safe to use by default for debugging builds.
Please refer to the option documentation for further details.
- devices for testing
- CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP - enable loop device
- for fstests: DM_FLAKEY, CONFIG_FAIL_MAKE_REQUEST
- CONFIG_SCSI_DEBUG - fake scsi block device
- memory
- CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG - boot with slub_debug
- CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC + CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC_ENABLE_DEFAULT (on newer kernels)
- CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING
- CONFIG_HAVE_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK
- CONFIG_FAILSLAB
- btrfs
- CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG, CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT, CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_RUN_SANITY_TESTS
- CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY
- locking
- CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK, CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES
- CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
- CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING, CONFIG_LOCKDEP
- CONFIG_LOCK_STAT
- CONFIG_PROVE_RCU
- sanity checks
- CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE, CONFIG_HAVE_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
- CONFIG_STACKTRACE
- kasan
- verbose reporting
- CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
- tracing
- CONFIG_TRACING etc
xfstests
xfstests has very few "hard" requirements and will succeed without running many of the tests. In order to ensure full test coverage, your test environment should provide the following.
Kernel config options for complete test coverage
-
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION=y
-
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS=y
-
CONFIG_FAIL_MAKE_REQUEST=y
-
CONFIG_DM_FLAKEY=m
ory
Kernel config options for better bug reports
See the list in the section above for more options.
User space utilities and development library dependencies
- fio
- dmsetup
- xfsprogs >= 4.3.1
-
xfs_io -c reflink
is required.
-
- btrfsprogs
- openssl
- libacl
- libattr
- libaio
- libuuid
Note: This list may be incomplete.
Storage environment
- At least 4 identically sized partitions/disks/virtual disks, specified using
$SCRATCH_DEV_POOL
Other requirements
- An
fsgqa
user and group must exist.
