OK. I have not given complete information.
It does not fail indefinably. I can umount the fs immediately after the failure.
Only the test fails because fsck sees a mounted fs.
There must be a bit of a delay in the umount that causes the problem.

Problem existed for me in .37 as well. I don't think it is kernel (or
fs) related.
I think it is a system problem, but I fall short of ideas how to fix it.

Currently, I have /dev/sda5,6,7,8.
I used to work with LVM, but lstat64 didn't like the /dev/mapper links,
so I switched to raw partitions.
Although I was puzzled that xfstests could not work over LVM partitions
It could when I changed lstat64 to stat64, but then I changed it back
thinking it was causing my problems.
