This test case is going to check if btrfs will fail fsync after NOCOW
buffered write and reflink.

Btrfs' back reference only has extent level granularity, so if we do
buffered write which can be done NOCOW, then reflink, that buffered
write will be forced CoW.

And if we have no data space left, CoW will fail and cause fsync
failure.

The changelog, for a generic test, should describe in general terms
what the test is testing, not how/why btrfs fails, neither the btrfs
implementation details.

Here in changelog you can say the test currently fails on btrfs and
then mention which patch/commit fixes it.

Same as before, it's a generic test, you should describe what we are
testing, not that btrfs fails and why/how, nor btrfs' specific
implementation details.

I've been pointed about doing similar in the past, see
https://marc.info/?l=linux-btrfs&m=142482279823445&w=2

I would just say:

Test that if we do a buffered write against a section of an unwritten
extent, reflink a different section of the extent and then fsync the
file, the fsync will succeed and the buffered write is persisted.

Have you tested this on other filesystems?
This will fail, nospace_cache is btrfs specific...

Again that's a very specific btrfs detail - that btrfs will only
"enter" NOCOW mode when there's not enough available data space at the
time of the buffered write.

Is the sync needed? Why? I don't think it's needed.

Again, very btrfs specific .

Missing 'count' after 'reference'.
Also too much btrfs specific.

Again, describing the btrfs specific implementation details/failure,
instead of what we are testing (that the fsync succeeds).

> +xfs_io -c 'fsync'  "$SCRATCH_MNT/foobar"

xfs_io -> $XFS_IO_PROG

Thanks.
