There's no conflict here AFAICT; the "-C" for oneshot is for xfs_io invocation; individual commands are free to re-use such options for their own purposes. i.e.: # xfs_io -C "command -C" file is fine; the two different -C args have different contexts. Adding a -C to the statx command poses no problem.
