Using kdevops this is easy:

make defconfig-lbs-xfs-small -j $(nproc)
make -j $(nproc)
make fstests
make linux
make fstests-baseline TESTS=generic/447 COUNT=10
tail -f

guestfs/*-xfs-reflink-16k-4ks/console.log
or
sudo virsh list
sudo virsh console ${foo}-xfs-reflink-16k-4ks

Where $foo is the value of CONFIG_KDEVOPS_HOSTS_PREFIX in .config for
your kdevops run.

Otherwise if you wanna run things manually the above uses an lbs branch
called large-block-minorder on kdevops [0] based on v6.9-rc5 with:

a) Fixes we know we need
b) this patch series minus this patch
c) A truncation enablement patch

Note that the above also uses an fstests git tree with the fstests
changes we also have posted as fixes and some new tests which have been
posted [1]. You will then want to run:

./check -s xfs_reflink_16k_4ks -I 10 generic/447

The configuration for xfs_reflink_16k_4ks follows:

cat /var/lib/xfstests/configs/min-xfs-reflink-16k-4ks.config

[default]
FSTYP=xfs
TEST_DIR=/media/test
SCRATCH_MNT=/media/scratch
RESULT_BASE=$PWD/results/$HOST/$(uname -r)
DUMP_CORRUPT_FS=1
CANON_DEVS=yes
RECREATE_TEST_DEV=true
SOAK_DURATION=9900

[xfs_reflink_16k_4ks]
TEST_DEV=/dev/loop16
SCRATCH_DEV_POOL="/dev/loop5 /dev/loop6 /dev/loop7 /dev/loop8 /dev/loop9 /dev/loop10 /dev/loop11 /dev/loop12"
MKFS_OPTIONS='-f -m reflink=1,rmapbt=1, -i sparse=1, -b size=16384, -s size=4k'
USE_EXTERNAL=no
LOGWRITES_DEV=/dev/loop15

I didn't have time to verify if the above commands for kdevops worked but... in
theory its possible it may, because you know, May is right around the
corner, and May... the force be with us.
