Got it!

So I'll try to understand the patch first.

This test script focuses on reproducing NILFS-specific mount sequences
(such as mounting a snapshot and current tree simultaneously) and
checking the state of user space such as the GC process and utab.
And, is not exhaustive for mount options.

Looking at the patch, if I come up with test patterns that would be
better to add, I will enhance the test script.
