So what condition does this test cover that test 252 doesn't?

Ummm, do you really need to reinvent the wheel?

If you need remounts during the test, it should be using the scratch
device, I think.

There's no guarantee that a filesystem will punch the number of
blocks you expect.

Ditto - indeed, punching blocks can lead to allocation for things
like extent tree splits because the number of extent records
increases.

Probably the best method, though we tend to use the xfs_io output
because we already have a lot of parsing functions for it.

This is why you shoul dbe using the scratch device and using the
test device to store the results. No hoops to jump through, and the
result is s simpler test.
Oh, and all you do is run diff on the hexdump output of the files.
diff can check binary files just fine - why do you need the hexdump
output? i.e. create files with zeros where the holes will be on the
testdev, create new ones on the scratch dev, punch holes in them,
diff them. No need for hexdumps, and the diff output can be put
directly into the golden output. If we then dump the fiemap output
into the output file (appropriately filtered) no further validation
checks are needed to determine that the hole was punched in the
correct place....
Indeed, I've seen plenty of cases where same test case operating on
an existing file gives different results to operating on a newly
created file....

That's making a big assumption about the granularity of hole
punching. It's invalid for certain XFS configurations - when using
per inode preferred allocation alignment or the real time device,
and hole punching follows those alignments.
....
I think maybe this test is trying to be too smart and do too much,
and the verbosity is hurting my eyes. I'm giving up here because I
think it overlaps greatly with test 252, and I can't see what
addition failures this test would actually detect that fsx and 252
wouldn't. If there are corner cases that 252 isn't covering that
this test does, then I think they should be added to 252....
