Does LTP create and mount the filesystem itself?

If not, then it wouldn't have control over this.

"Filesystem does not support STATX_DIOALIGN"

This looks wrong.  If the system headers are missing this field, then the
definition in the LTP source tree should be used instead.

For the failure case: "stx_dio_mem_align was 0, but DIO should be supported"

For the failure case: "stx_dio_offset_align was 0, but DIO should be supported"

The open() is not checked for error in all cases.

Also, this is closing the file descriptor even when it is -1.

Why does this test need root?
