Today I run xfstest #269 serveral times (maybe 30 times I guess) against
different commits. To be honest, It couldn't be always reproduced. I
summarize the result here.
9fff24aa, I never trigger the regression against this commit.
1139575a, the regression is triggered only one time.
7eedefe8, the regression can be triggered three or four times.
7b690cfa, I could trigger it about six times.
I also run the same test case in another machine, which is almost the
same previous one except that it only has a HDD. The regression could be
triggered in commit 7eedefe8. But I don't think this commit can causes
this regression.
In general I agree with you that we need to take care of it but it's not
yet urgent.
