I tested your branch with overlayfs over xfs.
I did not observe any failures with -g clone except for test generic/937
which also failed on xfs in my test.

I though that you forgot to mention I needed to grab xfsprogs from djwong-devel
for commit e84a9e93 ("xfs_io: dedupe command should only complain
if we don't dedupe anything"), but even with this change the test still fails:

generic/937     - output mismatch (see

One thing that *is* different with overlayfs test is that filefrag crashes
on this same test:

It looks like an overlayfs v4.19-rc1 regression - FIGETBSZ returns zero.
I never noticed this regression before, because none of the generic tests
are using filefrag.

Thanks,
Amir.
