https://git.shady.money/coreutils/atom?h=v7.52009-08-06T07:41:50Zdd: work around buffer length restrictions with oflag=direct (O_DIRECT)2009-08-06T07:41:50ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2009-08-04T17:54:58Zurn:sha1:5929322ccb1f9d27c1b07b746d37419d17a7cbf6
dd oflag=direct would fail to copy a file with size that is
not a multiple of 512 (destination file system specific)
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* src/dd.c (iwrite): Turn off O_DIRECT for any
smaller-than-obs-sized write. Don't bother to restore it.
* tests/dd/direct: New test for the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add dd/direct.
* doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Mention oflag=direct
buffer size restriction.

tests: don't use lang-default from individual tests2009-03-29T17:54:54ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2009-03-29T17:54:14Zurn:sha1:eeeccb3d0f1481877551c55ddc4a7263e6bc3f48
* tests/sample-test: Don't recommend using lang-default here.
It is now run for each test automatically, via TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.
* tests/dd/reblock: Don't source lang-default here.
* tests/misc/truncate-fail-diag: Likewise.

* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: Just check for
the non system specific part of the error strings.
This was causing an erroneous failure on NetBSD 1.6 at least.

* tests/dd/skip-seek-past-file: I had previously commented that
on some systems lseek(> max file size) may succeed, but left
the possibility of failure in that case, so that I could determine
specific systems to put in the comments for both failure modes.

dd: Better handle user specified offsets that are too big2009-01-28T15:14:57ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2008-11-20T10:28:31Zurn:sha1:460ebb078ed7bf249af745d8725d6c37e7f15b57
Following are the before and after operations for seekable files,
for the various erroneous offsets handled by this patch:
skip beyond end of file
before: immediately exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip to specified offset"); exit(0);
skip > max file size
before: read whole file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > max file size
before: immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: EFBIG"); exit(1);
skip > OFF_T_MAX
before: read whole device/file and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip:"); exit(1);
seek > OFF_T_MAX
before: immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("truncate error: offset too large"); exit(1);
skip > device size
before: read whole device and exit(0);
after : immediately printf("cannot skip: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
seek > device size
before: read whole device and printf("write error: ENOSPC"); exit(1);
after : immediately printf("cannot seek: Invalid argument"); exit(1);
* NEWS: Summarize this change in behavior.
* src/dd.c (skip): Add error checking for large seek/skip offsets on
seekable files, rather than deferring to using read() to advance offset.
(dd_copy): Print a warning if skip past EOF, as per FIXME comment.
* test/Makefile.am: Add 2 new tests.
* tests/dd/seek-skip-past-file: Add tests for first 3 cases above.
* tests/dd/seek-skip-past-dev: Add root only test for last case above.
tests: dd/reblock: Reduce chance of timing related failures2008-12-01T01:20:18ZPádraig BradyP@draigBrady.com2008-12-01T01:08:02Zurn:sha1:e34894bf3f52f1600e5a334ddeec9c2a7e431853
* tests/dd/reblock: Change the IPC mechanism to the dd process
under test, from pipes to fifos. Also change the delay
between data writes to 0.2s for both tests.
This should increase the chance that the dd process
will read the data chunks separately.
tests: dd/reblock: avoid occasional failure2008-11-30T18:01:45ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2008-11-30T17:43:55Zurn:sha1:be6b4218e47e27c591f589f27f543079d7930dce
* tests/dd/reblock: Sleep longer to avoid a race condition.
