We already have this capabiity in xfstests via _require_xfs_io_falloc_punch and _require_xfs_io_falloc. That, however, doesn't mean the tests that use these calls do the correct requirement checks. That's the problem with 255 - it doesn't call _require_xfs_io_falloc. As to 285, the seek_sanity_test does it's own check for seek hole/data support, and error out if it fails. This needs to be turned into an equivalent _require_seek_hole_data (e.g. by running "seek_sanity_test -t" to test for support) and 285 needs to the call the _require_seek_hole_data before running the test proper. Please send patches to xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx....
