+# Open a file and write to it and fsync. Then, flip the data device to throw
+# errors, write to it again and do an fdatasync. Then open an O_PATH fd on the
+# same file and call syncfs against it and ensure that an error is reported,
+# then call syncfs again and ensure that no error is reported. Finally, repeat
+# the open and syncfs and ensure that there is no error reported.
