SubjectRe: [PATCHv2 1/4] generic/468: Add another falloc test entry
First of all thanks Darrick for the review.
And sorry about such a long delay in getting back to this.

It does support other block size too.
Now, for bs < 4096 it is still fine. Yes, it won't trigger for 64K bs.
But that is ok since anyway to trigger this issue with 64K, we will need a much
larger disk size that anyway folks doesn't run fstests with
$((32768*65536*18))

That is right. Sure, I will add a comment explaining this, in the next revision.

We can do that. But it is rare for anyone to test only with '-G 32' and not test
with a default option. 32 might still be ok, but anything bigger then that
might still require the test to not run due to requirement of disk size.

And plus I wanted to keep the test generic enough such that it covers the
regression test with default fast_commit mkfs option.
