Thanks. Those slides that's exactly what I needed.

True, I ran only my own tests for inserting/collapsing big amount of
blocks.

My xfstests output is the following:

(I had to say that right now I am testing on 4.4.28 kernel and testing
on latest sources taken from linux-next will require some time, but of
course I will retest and send up-to-date results)

---
Failures: ext4/302 ext4/303 ext4/304 generic/061 generic/063
generic/075 generic/079 generic/091 generic/112 generic/127
generic/252 generic/263
Failed 12 of 200 tests
---

Many of tests were ignored, because of reflink which is not supported, also
there are some failures and I will try to figure out is that related to my
changes, but still I do not see massive corruptions.

Quick questions regarding xfstests:

1. What is the optimal size for $TEST_DEV ? I see these seconds numbers on a
small Vm (disk is 16gb):

ext4/007 22s

and these numbers on a server with 2TB disk:

ext4/007 547s

007 test does e2fsck, so it depends on $TEST_DEV size. So what optimal
size to choose to cover all corner cases but not to wait forever?

2. I see many of the tests are ignored. Do we have some perfect run,
reference, Standard, to see how many tests run on up-to-date kernel?
E.g. I see generic/038 has this output:
"[not run] This test requires at least 10GB free".

Increasing size of $SCRATCH partition will bring the test to live.
So would be nice to have some reference numbers that those tests
are expected to run and to pass.
