Right, that one is generic.

If available sysfs options depens on mkfs options, that could be an issue.
But if we make the _require function check for a previous mkfs from the main
test itself, then the test can control the mkfs options too.

right, but that is specific to "scratch."  My point was that
you were using $SCRATCH_MNT in the first generic function, which
is not specific to scratch, and can operate on any device.

yep!

It does seem a little strange to require the mkfs I guess, but it seems better
than performing mkfs twice in the test.

I suppose one other way to do it might e to make a tiny loopback filesystem
image in a tempfile, and test that.  That way you could control the
mkfs time?  But I guess it's possible that sysfs options *could* even depend
on the size of the fs, though I can't think of any today that do.

No ... I mean, what you have is just fine, no change needed.

Well, it would be strange to call an xfs sysfs interface on a
non-xfs test, but ... I guess it could happen.

You could add something to _set_fs_sys_fs_param to also
_fail with a warning if /sys/fs/${FSTYP}/${dname}/$target does not exist.
