fstests: master branch updated to e6f1dfa3e331

Hi all,

The master branch of the xfstests repository at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git

have just been updated. This is the last update in 2017, which only contains three minor fixes.

As this is the last update in 2017, I went through the git history a bit and took a very quick scan on it to get a rough idea on what happened in 2017, here is what I've observed (the numbers may not be accurate, and I may miss some important updates too).

We had 529 patches from 67 contributors merged in 2017, which is the biggest update ever (444 patches in 2016 and 282 patches in 2015), around 224 new tests were added. I also listed some notable changes in 2017 briefly:

- base filesystem support in overlayfs testing (Amir Goldstein)
- test result report generator & infrastructure (Dmitry Monakhov)
- support testing more filesystems:
- glusterfs (Zorro Lang)
- pvfs (or Orangefs) (Martin Brandenburg)
- ubifs (David Oberhollenzer)
- cross-compilation support (Gwendal Grignou)
- remove IRIX support (Eric Biggers)
- dm-log-writes crash consistency test infrastructure (Josef Bacik, Amir Goldstein)
- fs-perf infrastructure (Josef Bacik)

Many many thanks to all the contributors and reviewers! Happy New Year!

Thanks,
Eryu
