Create a file to document the purpose of each test group that is
currently defined in fstests, and add a build script to check that every
group mentioned in the tests is also mentioned in the documentation.

This is awesome and long due.
Thanks for doing that!

Minor nits about overlayfs groups below...

The tests in this group exercise copy up.
There is no such thing as overlayfs without "copyup support",
so guess my point is - remove the word "support"

This description is a bit confusing, because the recommended
way to run overlayfs tests as described in README.overlay is
to set FSTYP=xfs and run ./check -overlay

I'm struggling for a better description but perhaps:
"using overlayfs regardless of ./check -overlay flag"?

I guess that works :-D
but to be accurate, this is actually a unionmount testsuite feature -
at selected test points in the workload, a new upper layer is stacked
on to overlayfs, so maybe:
"upper layer rotate tests from the unionmount test suite"?

A cleanup patch to fix this typo in btrfs/233?

Hmm.  Since I'm the author of the only test that uses this tag, I guess
I'm the authority (ha!) on what the name actually means.

That test (generic/631) is a regression test for a XFS whiteout handling
bug that can only be reproduced by layering overlayfs atop xfs.
Overlayfs is incidental to reproducing the XFS bug, but AFAIK overlayfs
is the only in-kernel user of whiteout, which is why it's critical here.

It's not right to make it "_supported_fs overlay" because we're not
testing overlayfs functionality; we're merely using it as a stick to
poke another filesystem.

How about: "regression tests that require the use of overlayfs in a
targetted configuration" ?

I've changed it to 'overlayfs upper layer rotate tests from the
unionmount test suite'.

Yes. I know.
Note that while this is the only case of _require_extra_fs overaly
there is another case of _require_extra_fs ext2 (xfs/049)

TBH, I do not think it is wise to tag the test by the test method
rather than the tested functionality.

What is more likely?
that a tester wants to run all tests that use overlay over FSTYP?
Or that a tester wants to run all tests to verify whiteout related
behavior after changing whiteout related code?

I suggest that you re-tag this test as 'whiteout', which is documented
already.

If you want to be more specific, you can create a group
rename_whiteout, because RENAME_WHITEOUT is the vfs
interface that this test is actually exercising.

Thanks,
Amir.

Ooh!  That's a much better suggestion.  I'll do that instead! :)

Eh, if we want to split the groups someday we can always revisit it.

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll have a v2 series out shortly.
