Unfortunately, I don't know what this bug is, or what the test is
actually doing from this description or from reading the actual
test.  Please assume that not just the reviewer but someone reading
this description 5 yers from now knows *nothing* about the problem
the test addresses. Hence the patch description needs to explain
more fully what the problem is that the test is exercising....

It's also unfortunate that kernel tree commits are being referenced
without saying what tree they belong to. i.e. this should read
"kernel commit ab1234cd" so we know that commit is not something
from the fstests tree, or e2fsprogs, or some other unknown tree.
Again - think about someone reading this in 5 years time and trying
to work out what it means...

Cheers,

Dave.
