Well, it's been over a week now and you're asking me to trust that
someone I don't know and who has never submitted an xfstests before
to do something in a timely manner so we can test a critical bug fix
during a merge window. I'm willing to be pleasently surprised, but
history tells me that people that report bugs rarely follow up with
xfstest cases and it's usually the developer that fixes the bug that
generates the xfstests patch.

So if the xfstests patch doesn't arrive in the next few hours, can
you please do that for us so I can get this sorted out for the merge
window?

Cheers,

Dave.
