Ok. I am not able to run this test suite. In any case, I want to
validate the behavior of XFS for pre-unmount event.

As per the spec the pre-unmount event should be generated before the
operation is about to check for open files.  However given the current
VFS code I am not sure, how could ever any filesystem support this
feature correctly.

The VFS code may not even inform the filesystem specific unmount handler
in some cases. As a result no filesystem can ever support this feature
correctly.  Is my understanding correct? Does XFS provide the
pre-unmount event correctly?

Any ideas?
