[PATCH 0/2] fstests: refine filesystem module reload handling

[Anand Jain]

These changes refine module reload control in testing. Patch 1 reloads
the module earlier in run_section, ensuring each section's first test
starts with a reloaded module. Patch 2 adds FS_MODULE_RELOAD_OPTIONS to
pass module options during reload, useful for the Btrfs pre-mount
configurations that aren’t available as mount options.

[PATCH 1/2] fstests: move fs-module reload to earlier in the run_section function

[Anand Jain]

[PATCH 2/2] fstests: FS_MODULE_RELOAD_OPTIONS to control filesystem module reload options

[Anand Jain]

Extend module reload logic to allow passing additional options via
`FS_MODULE_RELOAD_OPTIONS`. This enhancement enables more flexible
configuration during module reloads, which can be useful for testing
specific module parameters.

Maintains existing behavior for `TEST_FS_MODULE_RELOAD`.

You might want to document the existence of this knob in the README.

What happens if the test itself decides to reload the $FSTYP module?
Do you want these options to propagate to those reloadings as well?
AFAICT there are some btrfs/ group tests that do such things.

(Perhaps you'd be better off injecting FS_MODULE_RELOAD_OPTIONS into
/etc/modprobe.d/<somefile> to catch all these cases?)

Hrmm.  The nice thing about doing the reload /after/ each test is that
unloading the module will purge any per-fs slab caches that the module
creates.  The slab teardown logs any forgotten objects while $seq still
points to the test that leaked those objects.  Granted it's not a 100%
solution (that job falls to kmemcheck) but it's a cheap check.

This change makes it so that if test N leaks something, fstests reports
them for test N+1.

Why?
The change log should give a justification for the change.
It's just stating what the code changes are doing but without any reasoning.

Thanks.

Agreed. It's better to report the issue at test N. I'll add this comment 
to the code in v2.

Thanks!
