Hi,
Recently I updated my arm64 VM, and now several test cases are failing
due to golden output mismatch.
This time it's fs independent, and I haven't yet updated fstests itself,
so it looks like some updates in my environment is breaking the test.
E.g, generic/228 on ext4 (the same on btrfs)
FSTYP -- ext4
PLATFORM -- Linux/aarch64 btrfs-aarch64 6.17.0-rc3-custom+ #132 SMP

HINT: You _MAY_ be missing kernel fix:
5d6f0e9890ed btrfs: stop locking the source extent range during
reflink
I didn't know why, but the when those commands failed, the full script
line triggering it is also shown.
I checked my log, bash/xfsprogs and a lot of other packages are all
updated, and unfortunately my distro doesn't provide older packages for
me to bisect...
Thanks,
Qu
