From 298cfc4743b9cca6cc0c685b9fce5b34827bec1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Raiskup Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 18:21:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tests: fix race in dirrem01 and dirrem02 Proposal: https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-tar@gnu.org/msg05451.html Previously the '--checkpoint-action=echo' was triggered after '--checkpoint-action=sleep=1' - so the order of events *usually* was (for --format='gnu'): ... 1. checkpoint handler before write of 'dir/sub' member 2. one-second delay 3. stderr write: 'tar: Write checkpoint 3' 4. write the member 'dir/sub' into the archive 5. check that the member's ctime has not been changed 6. genfile's detecting 'Write checkpoint', doing unlink ... But sometimes, the genfile was fast enough to win the race and unlinked the directory before the member was written into the archive (IOW, the order was 1-2-3-6-4-5). This led to the occasional warning 'tar: dir/sub: file changed as we read it'. Swap the order of 'sleep=1' and 'echo' actions so the genfile utility has (hopefully) enough time to do the unlink before writing the file into the archive (enforce 1-2-3-6-4-5 order). * tests/dirrem01.at: Swap 'sleep=1' and 'echo' actions. * tests/dirrem02.at: Likewise. --- tests/dirrem01.at | 5 +++-- tests/dirrem02.at | 7 ++++--- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/dirrem01.at b/tests/dirrem01.at index 40344dc..dabc206 100644 --- a/tests/dirrem01.at +++ b/tests/dirrem01.at @@ -47,14 +47,15 @@ gnu) CPT=3;; esac genfile --run --checkpoint=$CPT --unlink dir/sub/file2 --unlink dir/sub -- \ - tar --blocking-factor=1 --checkpoint=1 --checkpoint-action='sleep=1' \ - --checkpoint-action='echo' -c -f archive.tar \ + tar --blocking-factor=1 --checkpoint=1 --checkpoint-action='echo' \ + --checkpoint-action='sleep=1' -c -f archive.tar \ --listed-incremental db -v dir >/dev/null ], [1], [ignore], [tar: dir: Directory is new tar: dir/sub: Directory is new +tar: dir/sub: file changed as we read it tar: dir/sub: File removed before we read it ],[],[],[gnu,posix]) diff --git a/tests/dirrem02.at b/tests/dirrem02.at index e1cf9ef..924454f 100644 --- a/tests/dirrem02.at +++ b/tests/dirrem02.at @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ # Description: # -# When an explicitley named directory disappears during creation +# When an explicitly named directory disappears during creation # of incremental dump, tar should still exit with TAREXIT_FAILURE (2). # # For further details see dirrem01.at @@ -44,14 +44,15 @@ gnu) CPT=3;; esac genfile --run --checkpoint=$CPT --unlink dir/sub/file2 --unlink dir/sub -- \ - tar --blocking-factor=1 --checkpoint=1 --checkpoint-action='sleep=1' \ - --checkpoint-action='echo' -c -f archive.tar \ + tar --blocking-factor=1 --checkpoint=1 --checkpoint-action='echo' \ + --checkpoint-action='sleep=1' -c -f archive.tar \ --listed-incremental db -v dir dir/sub >/dev/null ], [2], [ignore], [tar: dir: Directory is new tar: dir/sub: Directory is new +tar: dir/sub: file changed as we read it tar: dir/sub: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors ],[],[],[gnu,posix]) -- 2.14.3
