Sorry to be zigzagging you from generic to overlay and back, but the test
you wrote is completely generic, which is a good thing, so it belongs in
generic IMO.
Eryu?

TEST_DIR is typically filled with other stuff, so this won't work.
I would have gone for md5sum -c $TEST_DIR/$seq-md5, but diff
is fine as long as you keep it contained inside $TEST_DIR/$seq-dir
or something.

Why 0/1? pass the TARGET path as argument.
Or use md5sum instead or writing twice.

Why is this needed? if it is really needed add a comment why

In TEST_DIR we leave garbage behind on purpose, clean the dir (e.g. $seq-dir)
on test start.
scratch gets formatted so you don't need to clean it.

If Eryu thinks it’s acceptable, I can move to generic again.

In my test it works fine. but as you said it’s better make test dir inside $TEST_DIR.

Need modify as your advice.

Main purpose is to mitigate interference from write-back, 
but it seems having side effect to outside, I think if
we have enough test files then avoid dropping caches is reasonable.
This is also the reason why I’m using diff two directories instead of
using md5sum to one test file.

You are right, I did too much here.

I think shutdown is a way or method to make this test work,
but it seems not purpose of test itself.

I agreed, if overlay gets proper _require_scratch_shutdown support, test
should be made generic too.

It's better to describe the overlay bug more and mention the patch that
fixed the bug if available. It helps to understand the test, especially
when you look at some test failures months or years later..

This $TESTFILES usage was not fixed since v1..

It's not clear to me, just from the test, why you need to write many
small files to trigger the bug. Better to have more comments to explain
the steps in test.

I don't think you need $TEST_DIR at all, take a look at src/fssum.c and
_require_fssum and tests that take use of $FSSUM_PROG, the fssum program
is used to record & compare checksums of a bunch of files. I guess it
fits your need perfectly?

Yeah, this is something you need to document as comments in the test :)

shutdown is used to simulate power failure, and all other tests that
shut the filesystem down are in 'shutdown' group too.
