Hi Yixin,

thanks for your patch, we appreciate your effort.
There are some comments bellow. Even if you fix them, patches like this one
doesn't help much. The script is really ugly, requires a rewrite which would:

1) Be posix compliant. I.e.: remove all bashisms (arrays, typeset, regex
in [[ ... ]], etc.). It's good to use checkbashism.pl script and run it in dash
to test it:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines#132-shell-coding-style
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/raw/master/scripts/checkbashisms.pl

2) Use LTP new shell API
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/Test-Writing-Guidelines#23-writing-a-testcase-in-shell

Rewriting the script would be a great improvement. If you decide to do so,
please do not hesitate to ask for help (if needed).

Kind regards,
Petr

Why not use posix compliant syntax? I.e. single square brackets:
if [ $2 -gt 1 ]; then

Well, correct, but we'd like to drop arrays, as they're bashisms.

The shellcheck warning was meant to be without square brackets:
if $blks -eq $blks 2>/dev/null; then

Hi Petr,

Sorry for late reply, I was busy on something else in the past weeks.
Thanks for all the comments, I'll provide a re-write version soon.
