The _xfs_check sometimes need to take too much memory, some quota
related cases (e.g: xfs/442, generic/232 etc) always trigger OOM
killer.

  [93334.020194] xfs_db invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=-1000

The xfs_check related code is old, and nearly won't be maintained
too much, test xfs_repair and xfs_scrub is much more important than
xfs_check. But the xfstests always do a POST-xfs_check at the end of
each cases. So I'd like to add a new helper named
_require_scratch_no_xfs_check to skip xfs_check from some sub-cases.

Hi,

Maybe this patch not the best way to deal with this issue. Please feel free to
tell me if you have better idea.

Thanks,

I would just get rid of it (and have tried several times) but have not
had the time to check that xfs_repair can detect every corruption that
xfs_check can.

(To get started, I think it involves forking the dangerous_repair group
tests to run _xfs_check and xfs_repair -n one after the other to compare
outputs.)

JFYI, I remembered I hit once xfs_check failure[1] which xfs_repair -n didn't
find. And then, this bug fixed by another bug(CLOSE DUPLICATE):
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200137
