Which ones? Feel free to file bugs or send mail. Tests should pass.
Sometimes it's a test bug, though, of course ;)

Yes, that's what it's for!

Any test which says
_supported_fs generic
or
_supported_fs ext4
can run on ext4, and should in theory pass. I think there are
about 100 of them by now.
There is a "dangerous" group (see groups file) which contains test nrs that
might stop testing via a hang or panic. But don't skip those by
default; newer kernels with those bugs fixed _should_ pass them too.

We've been encouraging new tests to be written for xfstests lately,
and it's gotten a good amount of traction. There certainly may be
other things out there, though.
