@Cyril I wonder if it'd be good to test this on all_filesystems. Are we trying
to use use all_filesystems = 1 when subject of testing is using VFS or the
opposite? (kernel docs mentions "VFS system calls open(2), stat(2), read(2),
write(2), chmod(2)". It also mentions locking [2]).

BTW looking what has mknod in vfs, it's just nfsd and 9p (none of them are used
in all_filesystems):

$ git grep  mknod $(git ls-files fs/|grep -i vfs)
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c: * for mknod(2).
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c: * v9fs_vfs_mknod - create a special file
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:v9fs_vfs_mknod(struct mnt_idmap *idmap, struct inode *dir,
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:      .mknod = v9fs_vfs_mknod,
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:      .mknod = v9fs_vfs_mknod,
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c:v9fs_vfs_mknod_dotl(struct mnt_idmap *idmap, struct inode *dir,
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c: return v9fs_vfs_mknod_dotl(idmap, dir, dentry, omode, 0);
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c: * v9fs_vfs_mknod_dotl - create a special file
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c:v9fs_vfs_mknod_dotl(struct mnt_idmap *idmap, struct inode *dir,
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c:         p9_debug(P9_DEBUG_VFS, "Failed to get acl values in mknod %d\n",
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c: err = p9_client_mknod_dotl(dfid, name, mode, rdev, gid, &qid);
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c: .mknod = v9fs_vfs_mknod_dotl,
fs/nfsd/vfs.c:          host_err = vfs_mknod(&nop_mnt_idmap, dirp, dchild,

IMHO this simple form will print the same info, I suggest to use it.
	TST_EXP_PASS(mknod(TEMP_NODE, MODE1, 0));

Diff for using all_filesystems (I'm not sure myself).

Kind regards,
Petr
