xfs: realtime reverse-mapping support [v6.2 04/14] This is the latest revision of a patchset that adds to XFS kernel support for reverse mapping for the realtime device. This time around I've fixed some of the bitrot that I've noticed over the past few months, and most notably have converted rtrmapbt to use the metadata inode directory feature instead of burning more space in the superblock. At the beginning of the set are patches to implement storing B+tree leaves in an inode root, since the realtime rmapbt is rooted in an inode, unlike the regular rmapbt which is rooted in an AG block. Prior to this, the only btree that could be rooted in the inode fork was the block mapping btree; if all the extent records fit in the inode, format would be switched from 'btree' to 'extents'. The next few patches enhance the reverse mapping routines to handle the parts that are specific to rtgroups -- adding the new btree type, adding a new log intent item type, and wiring up the metadata directory tree entries. Finally, implement GETFSMAP with the rtrmapbt and scrub functionality for the rtrmapbt and rtbitmap and online fsck functionality. This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy! Signed-off-by: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
