1) xfs/133 and xfs/134 work abnornamlly on RHEL6.8GA and RHEL6.9Beta because xfs_db fails to set negative i_size and reports "usage: write fieldname value". The special argument "--" is only used to end option-scanning in getopt(). So we can run two xfs_db commands to set negative i_size regardless of the special argument "--" is needed or not. getopt() has been produced by 'commit c9f5e3db22098 ("xfs_db: Allow writes of corrupted data")'. 2) xfs/134 passes unexpectedly on RHEL6.8GA due to EINVAL, so we use touch command to create 512-aligned test file.
