I was surprised as well, Jan Kara noticed.

These 2 tests are both running diotest4.c, just with different block size:

$ git grep -e ^dio04 -e ^dio10 runtest/
runtest/dio:dio04 diotest4
runtest/dio:dio10 diotest4 -b 65536

NOTE: dio tests are currently being rewritten, but diotest4.c have not been done
yet. Thus the code is using legacy LTP API and needs cleanup.

Kind regards,
Petr
