Also tests in testcases/kernel/fs/racer/ are very old scripts with questionable
code quality. I would not use them with new tests.  Not sure whether these tests
are useful at all, but if yes they please take the idea and implement it in new
C API, so that they can be called by forked thread.

Why C? Running shell test from C is probably not acceptable. We have enough
problems with shell tests which use C binaries. Doing it vice versa can bring
even more problems.

fs_racer.sh runs many times fs_racer_file_create.sh, which mainly does:
dd if=/dev/zero of=$DIR/$file bs=1k count=$SIZE

=> nothing hard to implement in C.

Kind regards,
Petr
