We have the infrastructure in xfstests to do this in a generic way: use dm-flakey. The fsync tests (generic/311, generic/32[23]) that Josef wrote that use dm-flakey to prevent writes after the IOs have completed and check that the data is there after remount. Similarly, for xfs specific tests we have older tests that use the shutdown ioctl (e.g. xfs/137-139) by using the godown function to shut the filesystem down and prevent unmount from writing metadata. On remount the data should be present. So there's a couple of different ways you can do this...
