Yes, but fsstress want chown to random uid/gid
int inode_change_ok(..)
...
/* Make sure a caller can chown. */
if ((ia_valid & ATTR_UID) &&
(current_fsuid() != inode->i_uid ||
attr->ia_uid != inode->i_uid) && !capable(CAP_CHOWN))
return -EPERM;

Subject: [PATCH] xfstests: 270'th test want use setcap(8)
It wants to grant CAP_CHOWN to fsstress, without this capability
chown(2) will fail due to EPERM. Since chown(2) is one of the most
error prone places of quota accounting this makes 270'th
test almost useless, so it is better to simply skip it.
