Subject: [PATCH 0/4] fstests: sector size fixes and whiteouts...

Hi folks,

The first 2 patches are fallout from a kernel change in 4.0-rc1
which changes the physical block size of a ram disk (/dev/ram0) from
512 bytes to 4kB. This bit several tests because it means mkfs.xfs
generates different geometry and so has different output.

The third patch addresses another new issue - it appears that loop
device tardown is much faster than it's ever been and so it
triggering races with unmount trying to tear down it down. unmount
is being a sore loser and so tests are failing randomly.

The final patch is a test for RENAME_WHITEOUT. I have no idea if it
encodes correct behaviour because the behaviour is completely
undocumented. So I've simply made a test that exercises ext4's
behaviour and I'm using that to verify the new XFS code matches the
same userspace visible behaviour as ext4.

-Dave.
