From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx> xfs_admin in xfsprogs 5.11 has a bug wherein a caller who specifies an external log device forces xfs_db to be invoked, potentially with zero command arguments. When this happens, xfs_db will wait for input on stdin, which causes fstests to hang. Since xfs_admin is not an interactive tool, redirect stdin from /dev/null to prevent this issue.
