This failure gave me a bit of trouble. It is similar to the failure observed
earlier with v4.4.y, but changing the C compiler version did not help (I
tried 8.2.0 and 5.5.0), and changing the qemu version did not help either.
Bisect points to commit 31e8a058e1f ("Revert "ext4: use ext4_write_inode()
when fsyncing w/o a journal") as the culprit. No idea why that would be
the case, but I repeated the bisect twice with the same results, and
reverting that revert indeed fixes the problem. This is weird since
one of the failing tests doesn't even mount a file system but boots
from initrd. Go figure. Bisect results are below.
