From 911e9f16800437cc96349f85c6c916c9d8c2d317 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qu Wenruo Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 07:14:15 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] fstests: generic/733: avoid output difference due to bash's version [FALSE ALERT] When running generic/733 with bash 5.3.3 (any thing newer than 5.3.0 will reproduce the bug), the test case will fail like the following: generic/733 19s ... - output mismatch (see /home/adam/xfstests/results//generic/733.out.bad) --- tests/generic/733.out 2025-09-04 17:30:08.568000000 +0930 +++ /home/adam/xfstests/results//generic/733.out.bad 2025-09-04 17:30:32.898475103 +0930 @@ -2,5 +2,5 @@ Format and mount Create a many-block file Reflink the big file -Terminated +Terminated $here/src/t_reflink_read_race "$testdir/file1" "$testdir/file2" "$testdir/outcome" &>> $seqres.full test completed successfully ... (Run 'diff -u /home/adam/xfstests/tests/generic/733.out /home/adam/xfstests/results//generic/733.out.bad' to see the entire diff) [CAUSE] The failure is fs independent, but bash version dependent. In bash v5.3.x, the job control will output the command which triggered the job control (from termination to core dump etc). The "Terminated" message is not from the program, but from bash's job control, thus redirection won't hide that message. [FIX] Run the command in a command group, which will be executed in a subshell. By this we can redirect the output of the subshell, including the job control message, thus hide the different output pattern caused by different bash versions. Thankfully this particular test case does extra checks on the outcome file to determine if the program is properly terminated, thus we are safe to move the "Terminated" line from the golden output to seqres.full.
