Firstly, knowing your exact test machine and xfstests configuration
is important here, so:

I don't think that this is the actual cause of the issue, because I
have records of generic/204 failing on 1k v5 filesystems every so
often going back to the start of the log file I have for my v5/1k
test config:

Repeating the test on v4/512b, I get the same result as you.

$ cat results/generic/204.full
files 127500, resvblks 1024
reserved blocks = 1024
available reserved blocks = 1024
$

Ok, those numbers add up to exactly 97,920,000 bytes, as per the
test config.

$ sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt/scratch
$ df -h /mnt/scratch
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vdb         99M   87M   13M  88% /mnt/scratch
$ df -i /mnt/scratch
Filesystem     Inodes  IUsed  IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/vdb       108608 108608      0  100% /mnt/scratch
$

And for v5/1k:

$ sudo mkfs.xfs -f -m crc=1,finobt=1 -b size=1k -d size=$((106 * 1024 * 1024)) -l size=7m /dev/vdb
meta-data=/dev/vdb               isize=512    agcount=4, agsize=27136 blks
         =                       sectsz=512   attr=2, projid32bit=1
         =                       crc=1        finobt=1
data     =                       bsize=1024   blocks=108544, imaxpct=25
         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096   ascii-ci=0 ftype=1
log      =internal log           bsize=1024   blocks=7168, version=2
         =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0
$ sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt/scratch
$ df -i /mnt/scratch
Filesystem     Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/vdb        54272     3 54269    1% /mnt/scratch
$ 

Yup, it's clear *why* it is failing, too. There aren't enough free
inodes configured by mkfs.  That means it's the mkfs imaxpct config
that is the issue here, not the commit that made the max inode
threshold more accurate...

Adding "-i maxpct=50" to the mkfs command allows the test to pass on
both v4/512 and v5/1k filesystems.  IOWs, it does not appear to be
code problem but is a test config problem...

Can you send a patch to fstests@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx that fixes the test
for these configs?

Cheers,

Dave.
