Re: [PATCH] xfstests-bld: exclude ext4 defrag tests from unsupported configurations

[Eric Whitney <enwlinux@gmail.com>]

Spoke too soon - hit what looks like the old problem on ARM running 4.1-rc7
on the ninth trial run.  Various components of the test are left in the 'D'
state after a familiar oops - kernel BUG at fs/jbd2/transaction.c:2150 while
truncating.

I'll see if I can still get the problem to appear on x86_64.
