Yeah, this is known.   I have an ext4-specific exclude file:

// generic/04[456] tests how truncate and delayed allocation works
// ext4 uses the data=ordered to avoid exposing stale data, and
// so it uses a different mechanism than xfs.  So these tests will fail
generic/044
generic/045
generic/046

Yeah, I don't enable project id quotas by default in my test setups.

And _scratch_mkfs will fallback to using just the tests's mkfs option,
so if -O quota,project are specified in MKFS_OPTS, then the fallback works:

Start test timestamps with 128 inode size one device /dev/vdc
** mkfs failed with extra mkfs options added to "-q -O quota,project" by test 043 **
** attempting to mkfs using only test 043 options: -I 128 **

I suppose we could explicitly add something like -O ^project to the
test, but enabling -O project isn't in the default e2fsprogs
mke2fs.conf, and there are probably all sorts of oddball mke2fs.conf
configurations that might cause tesets to fail.

Hmm, I can't reproduce this with "kvm-xfstests -c ext4/quota
ext4/053", which will configure xfstests with:

MKFS_OPTIONS  -- -F -q -O quota,project /dev/vdc
MOUNT_OPTIONS -- -o acl,user_xattr -o block_validity /dev/vdc /vdc

Can you send me the out.bad and full files for that test?

Hmm... maybe this is another one of these "it fails if a non-standard
mke2fs.conf is used, although I don't see how."

I don't have any idea either.  I assume there's nothing in the dmesg
for that test?  Those tests are passing for me, so I got nothing.
