There is quite of noise currently with xfstests failures. In addition
to the fsync/EIO failures, there is also something going on with
dm-thin, etc. And then there's generic/484, which is failing for all
ext4 configs.
According to test script for generic/484, the test failure is fixed by
the patch:
locks: change POSIX lock ownership on execve when files_struct is displaced
>From what I can tell, the patch was last submitted on March 17th, with
comments from Eric Beiderman on April 2nd and 3rd --- but nothing
since then:

Are you still hoping to land this patch for 4.17?
Thanks, regards,
