changing how $here is defined needs to be in a patch of it's own,
and that patch needs to remove it from every single test in the
xfstests code base that declares it. test harness infrastructure
changes should not be buried in an unrelated btrfs test changes....

Yes, I get that. What is not clear is where you expect
the failure to be detected - in memory or on disk?

Yes, it's a pre-condition. That's not the answer to the question
I've been asking, though.

Ah, so syncing the data after the second set of writes is important,
and that's what you are testing. So, why aren't you testing this
with sync and fiemap? Or is it the unmount that matters, rather than
the data writeback?

Do you see what I'm trying to understand? If it's data writeback
that triggers the bug or enables it to be detected, then that's what
the test should use as the trigger. If unmount is necessary, then a
comment saying "data writeback is not sufficient to trigger or
detect the corruption - we need can only detect it via unmount and a
fsck pass"....

Ok, so the problem is not as you described - it's not that
_check_scratch_fs doesn't unmount the filesystem, it's that it
mounts it again after the check and the test requires it to be
unmounted *after* it has been checked.  See how much time a simple
comment can save? :)

It is unreasonable to expect them to understand why you used btrfs
restore rather than just doing "_scratch_check_fs; md5sum
$testfile". That's what the comment needs to explain, because I
still don't understand why the test uses btrfs restore or why it
would give any different result to the script fragment in the
previous sentence...

Cheers,

Dave.
