Thanks!

Well, I don't think it would improve test coverage in any interesting way.
This test tests stuff in fsnotify layer & VFS. The differences in
filesystem inode reclaim are not target of this test - we are just trying
to check that fsnotify does not block inode reclaim by holding inode
references and for that any filesystem works. Or did you mean something
else?
