Better to specify the commit id number. I saw Ted has applied that patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/162895105421.460437.8931255765382647790.b4-ty@mit.edu/

And maybe you can describe *a little* more in commit log.

I think the umount isn't necessary, so the specific _cleanup isn't
needed either.

Do you use any filter helpers below?

I'm wondering if this case can be a generic case, there's nothing
ext4 specified operations, except this line:

"$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV"

Hmm... if we can change this line to something likes _get_fs_super(),
it might help to make this test to be a generic test.

It's sure this case will be "ext4/309", although you use "309" won't
affect anything.

Don't need to change the status value, how about write as:

$TUNE2FS_PROG -l $SCRATCH_DEV >/dev/null

The error output will break the golden image directly.

( cc ext4 mailist, to get more review)
