Re: [PATCH] tests/xfs: test log recovery metadata LSN ordering

XFS had a bug that lead to a possible out-of-order log recovery
situation (e.g., replay a stale modification from the log over more
recent metadata in destination buffer). This resulted in false
corruption reports during log recovery and thus mount failure.

This condition is caused by system crash or filesystem shutdown shortly
after a successful log recovery. Add a test to run a combined workload,
fs shutdown and log recovery loop known to reproduce the problem on
affected kernels.

This test reproduces the problem described and addressed in the
following patchset:

  http://oss.sgi.com/pipermail/xfs/2016-August/050840.html

It runs anywhere from 50-100s in the couple of environments I've tested
on so far and reproduces the problem for me with 100% reliability. Note
that the bug only affects crc=1 kernels.
Looks good overall, and tested with the above patchset applied and test
passed without problems. Some minor issues inline

+#
+# To test this situation, run frequent shutdowns immediately after log recovery.
+# Ensure that log recovery does not recover stale modifications and cause

I'm wondering if this test can be made generic by adding a
"_require_scratch_shutdown"? Like generic/042 to generic/051

Thanks,
