Looking at xfstests runs, new failures are:

generic/054 - 
generic/055 - both fail with:

+*** mkfs failed: -l version=2,su=4096 ***

and the .full file has this specific error:

Illegal value 4096 for -l su option. value is too small

indicating that we should be allowing (2^N * block size) log
stripe units to be set. This will be a limit configuration issue,
most likely needing fixing in mkfs.

This test is explicitly testing an invalid value, checking that it
falls back to a sane default. This patchset has changed the
behaviour, so the xfstest will need some rework to handle both old
and new mkfs behaviour.

Can you send patches to fix all these up?

Cheers,

Dave.
