Hi Jan,

IMHO candidate for a release. Li, Cyril WDYT?

FYI the problem is currently LTP_SINGLE_FS_TYPE is still meant only for testing
one of the filesystems among .all_filesystems => these in fs_type_whitelist[]
(see lib/tst_supported_fs_types.c).

BTW that's similar to use case we haven't even formulated in issue:
https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/Z066Fj9VQVlTOMp_@rei.lan/
https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/Z1mA2wzjW0hpQxUH@yuki.lan/
(The only difference is that this requires to use filesystem not in
fs_type_whitelist[], therefore minor bug for it was found).

Kind regards,
Petr
