(Please cc xfs list too for xfs-specific test cases in future. I didn't
add xfs list in this thread as Dave already replied).

If xfsprogs commit 4222d000ed ("db: write via array indexing doesn't
work") introduced a new feature, I agreed that we need the _require rule
and _notrun the test.

But this issue looks like a bug in xfsprogs to me, not a missing feature
in xfsprogs on RHEL7, so I tend to fail the test instead of adding a new
_require rule & _notrun the test. And in this case, IMHO, I don't think
it's necessary to do any update to the test, just leave the test as it
is and file a new bug in Red Hat bugzilla.

Agreed.
