[PATCH RFC v2 42/42] selftests/filesystems: add backing file tests for pseudo files
From: Christian Brauner
Date: Sat Nov 14 2026 - 08:18:31 EST
Add tests that files on pseudo filesystems can't be used as storage:
- a procfs file attached read-only to a loop device
- sysfs files attached read-only and read-write to a loop device
- a sysfs file behind a lower-only overlayfs attached to a loop device
- a symlink and a magic link to a sysfs file attached to a loop device
- a procfs file as the backing file of an nvme target namespace
- a procfs file as the backing file and as the protection file of a
fileio device of the scsi target
- a procfs file as a zloop zone file
- a sysfs file as the backing file of a usb mass storage gadget LUN
- a sysfs file as the source of a file-backed erofs mount
Add tests that FIFOs and character devices can't be used as storage by
loop, the nvme target, the fileio backend and zloop either.
And make sure that a memfd and another loop device still work as loop
backing files, that a regular file and a block device still work for
the nvme target and the fileio backend and that loop refuses a backing
file that isn't open for reading.
The nvme target test uses buffered_io as asked for in [1]. Most pseudo
files can't be opened with O_DIRECT and the test would pass without
ever reaching the check.
