xfstests: avoid ext4/306 failures caused by incompatible mount options
PATCH 1/1 xfstests: avoid ext4/306 failures caused by incompatible mount options
ext4/306 will fail when mounting the ext3 file system it creates if an ext3-incompatible mount option is applied by _scratch_mount. This can happen if EXT_MOUNT_OPTIONS is defined appropriately in the test environment. For example, the block_validity option is commonly used to enhance ext4 testing, and it is not supported by ext3. Fix this by not including any mount options defined by the test environment.

I'm not sure I understand why the test is insisting that the file system be mounted using ext3. If the file system is created without the extents flag, all of the files will be created using indirect blocks, and fundamentally what this test is getting at is that after we grow the file system using resize2fs, the new blocks are available to be allocated and attached to an indirect block file.
We can do this by using ext4; I'm not sure why this test is trying to use ext3 to set up the test flie system. It might be better to get rid of the requirement to create the file system using ext3, since it will make the test runnable even if the ext3 file system hasn't been configured into the system and CONFIG_EXT23_AS_EXT4 is not enabled.
IIRC, Eric Sandeen wrote this test --- Eric, am I missing some reason why it was necessary to use ext3 here?

Nope. Tomayto, tomahto - I think the original report had trouble with an ext3 filesystem, so that's how I wrote the testcase.
It could be fixed either way, I think.

If using ext3 doesn't add any additional value to the test, using ext4 instead certainly simplifies it. I'll post a V2 shortly.
Thanks,
