Compile error during tests likely due to centos9.stream switch.

Patrick mentioned that it could be due to a new version of the tool itself. Possible!

The XFS_IOC_FREESP64 and XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP64 macros are from /usr/include/xfs/xfs_fs.h, which is from xfsprogs-devel rpm packages.

While upstream Linux has removed ALLOCSP/FREESP ioctls by commit:

    xfs: kill the XFS_IOC_{ALLOC,FREE}SP* ioctls

    According to the glibc compat header for Irix 4, these ioctls originated
    in April 1991 as a (somewhat clunky) way to preallocate space at the end
    of a file on an EFS filesystem.  XFS, which was released in Irix 5.3 in
    December 1993, picked up these ioctls to maintain compatibility and they
    were ported to Linux in the early 2000s.

    Recently it was pointed out to me they still lurk in the kernel, even
    though the Linux fallocate syscall supplanted the functionality a long
    time ago.  fstests doesn't seem to include any real functional or stress
    tests for these ioctls, which means that the code quality is ... very
    questionable.  Most notably, it was a stale disk block exposure vector
    for 21 years and nobody noticed or complained.  As mature programmers
    say, "If you're not testing it, it's broken." 

    Given all that, let's withdraw these ioctls from the XFS userspace API.
    Normally we'd set a long deprecation process, but I estimate that there
    aren't any real users, so let's trigger a warning in dmesg and return
    -ENOTTY.

And the xfsprogs-devel package also removed them. And then the xfstests-devel pacakge too:

    fsstress: remove ALLOCSP and FREESP operations entirely

    Due to upstream linux has removed ALLOCSP/FREESP ioctls by commit:
    4d1b97f9ce7c0 ("xfs: kill the XFS_IOC_{ALLOC,FREE}SP* ioctls"), so
    let's remove ALLOCSP/FREESP testing from fsstress, to avoid more
    mismatch problems.

    Due to g/070 specified "-f allocsp" and "-f freesp=0", so remove
    these two lines too.

The centos stream 9 in this test installed xfsprogs-devel-6.3.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm, and this version has included the above commit. While our qa/workunits/suites/fsx.sh is using old sha1 to do the test:

$ cat qa/workunits/suites/fsx.sh
#!/bin/sh -x

set -e

git clone https://git.ceph.com/xfstests-dev.git
cd xfstests-dev
git checkout 12973fc04fd10d4af086901e10ffa8e48866b735
make -j4
cd ..
cp xfstests-dev/ltp/fsx .

OPTIONS="-z"  # don't use zero range calls; not supported by cephfs

./fsx $OPTIONS  1MB -N 50000 -p 10000 -l 1048576
./fsx $OPTIONS  10MB -N 50000 -p 10000 -l 10485760
./fsx $OPTIONS 100MB -N 50000 -p 10000 -l 104857600

And the 12973fc04fd10d4af086901e10ffa8e48866b735 is old and still trying to use the stale XFS_IOC_{ALLOC,FREE}SP macros.

We should fix qa/workunits/suites/fsx.sh and use a proper sha1.

Makes sense +1

This is a following fix for it https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/57275.
