Re: [PATCH xfstests] overlay: Enable character device to be the base fs partition

[Zhihao Cheng]

After incorporating patches, use overlay usecases to test character device-based base fs, and all overlay usecases are executed:

FSTYP         -- overlay  # FSTYP has be overridden as 'overlay'
PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 localhost
MKFS_OPTIONS  -- /tmp/scratch
MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /tmp/scratch /tmp/scratch/ovl-mnt

overlay/001	[not run] This test requires at least 8GB free on /tmp/scratch to run
overlay/002	 1s
overlay/003	 0s
overlay/004	 0s
overlay/005	 1s
overlay/006	 0s
overlay/007	 0s
overlay/008	 0s
overlay/009	 0s
overlay/010	 0s
overlay/011	 1s
overlay/012	 0s
overlay/013	 0s
overlay/014	 1s
...
