So the question is really is this a generic test or an xfs test?  If
it's an xfs test, then you can make non-portable assumptions about the
returned values from statfs(2).

If it's a generic test, then you can't really do that.  And given the
name --- generic/486, it's a generic test.

What we probably *can* do is to test a series of xattr value
replacements --- e.g., find out what is the maximum xattr size
supported, and then try going from an 8 byte xattr value to an xattr
value of size N, where N might be 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, .. up to the
max xattr size supported.

One could also imagine testing starting with an xattr size of 16, 32,
64, 128, 256, ... max_size and replacing with a small xattr, which
would test the reverse case.

That would ba a truly general, generic test.

In any case, I'd suggest making a proposed patch to the fstests@
mailing list, since I'll note that the current set of lists where this
is being discussed may not guarantee that XFS developers will be
paying attention to this thread.

I think you mean using a 1k or 2k extN file system when testing over
NFS.  It works fine directly on a 1k block file system, since that's
one of my regular test configs and I would have noticed if it was
breaking.

BEGIN TEST 1k (1 test): Ext4 1k block Thu Jun 17 09:05:09 EDT 2021

EXT_MOUNT_OPTIONS: -o block_validity

generic/486             [09:05:10][   19.128541] run fstests generic/486 at 2021-06-17 09:05:10
 [09:05:10] 0s
Ran: generic/486
Passed all 1 tests
Xunit report: /results/ext4/results-1k/result.xml

Again, my suggestion of using binary search to find the largest size
xattr supported by the file system is really the way to go.
