Perhaps a bit more detail about what you are testing, how you've set
up xfstests, etc, and some analysis of the problem is in order first?

Which usually indicates that you've got some kind of reference
counting problem preventing the filesystem from being unmounted.

What, exactly, are you testing on? test 124 uses XFS_IOC_RESVSP
directly, not fallocate(), so all it is doing on a non-XFS
filesystem is iterating a loop that writes a 1MB file, reads it back
then unlinks it....
