Never use "This patch" in a change log. See Submitting Patches:

https://docs.kernel.org/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes

    Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. “make xyzzy do frotz”
    instead of “[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz” or “[I] changed xyzzy to
    do frotz”, as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change its
    behaviour.

Why are you doing this in the awk script?

Could add:

  if ! test_multiple_writes ; then
        echo $ORIG > buffer_size_kb
        exit_fail
  fi

instead.
