Yes, we need the scratch fs, because the filesystem might not support
untorn writes even if the underlying block device does.  Or it can
decide to constrain the supported io sizes.

Oh, yeah, awu_min==awu_max==0 should be an automatic _notrun.

_require* helpers decide if the test preconditions have been satisfied,
so this is exactly where the test would bail out.

Don't reuse another English word ("at") as an abbreviation, please.

_atomic_write_unit_min()

You need to pass -d to xfs_io to get directio mode.  The test does that,
but your command line doesn't.

That seems like a bug though.  "pwrite -A -D -V1 0 4096"?

Agreed.

Yeah, those are good subcases.

Good catch.

I think you're right.

That should be in blktests.

Oh, yeah, that's a good catch.
