This patch is causing generic/299 to loop forever for me.  The problem
is that "fio" is too easy to match:

root@kvm-xfstests:~# pgrep fio
1407
root@kvm-xfstests:~# ps augxww | grep 1407
root      1407  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S<   16:52   0:00 [dm_bufio_cache]
root      8386  0.0  0.0   2704   492 ttyS1    S+   17:06   0:00 grep 1407

I'm currently a testing a patch which uses "pgrep -f $XFS_IO_PROG"
instead, but I'm a bit surprised no once else noticed this, I guess
people aren't building their xfstests test kernels with DM_SNAPSHOP or
DM_VERITY configured (either of which will seleect DM_BUFIO)?
