Hello,

  I was looking into why test 272 from xfstests fails for ext3 and the
reason is that ext3 does not support direct IO to file with enabled data
journalling (open returns EINVAL because ->direct_IO callback is not
specified). So I was thinking how to accomodate this fact in the test -
the best I found was to just check using xfs_io whether O_DIRECT open
succeeds and perform the test only in that case. Attached patch does this
or do people have other ideas?

PS: Sending again with correct list address. I'm sorry for unnecessary email.

# ext3 doesn't support direct IO in journalling mode
ext3_write_opt_list="iflag=noatime conv=notrunc conv=fsync"
ext4_write_opt_list="iflag=noatime conv=notrunc conv=fsync oflag=direct"

if [ $FSTYP = "ext3" ]; then
	write_opt_list="$ext3_write_opt_list"
else
	write_opt_list="$ext4_write_opt_list"
fi

That only fixes one of the two places that does direct IO on a
jounralled file. The above will fix both...

Subject: [PATCH] Make test 272 work for ext3

ext3 does not support direct IO for files with data journalling. This
confuses test 272. Make the test check whether open succeeds and perform
the writing only if it does.
