Subject: generic: test fsync of a file truncated to a length of zero
X-Git-Tag: v2026.02.26~2
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75bbf15c562942d9329fb44ea3b6190509c8f748;p=xfstests-dev.git

generic: test fsync of a file truncated to a length of zero

Test that if we truncate a file to 0, fsync it, add a hard link to the
file and then fsync the parent directory, after a power failure the file
has a size of 0 (and the hardlink exists too).

This exercises a bug fixed by the following kernel patch for btrfs:

  "btrfs: fix zero size inode with non-zero size after log replay"
