Merge tag 'xfs-4.18-merge-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "New features this cycle include the ability to relabel mounted
  filesystems, support for fallocated swapfiles, and using FUA for pure
  data O_DSYNC directio writes. With this cycle we begin to integrate
  online filesystem repair and refactor the growfs code in preparation
  for eventual subvolume support, though the road ahead for both
  features is quite long.

  There are also numerous refactorings of the iomap code to remove
  unnecessary log overhead, to disentangle some of the quota code, and
  to prepare for buffer head removal in a future upstream kernel.

  Metadata validation continues to improve, both in the hot path
  veifiers and the online filesystem check code. I anticipate sending a
  second pull request in a few days with more metadata validation
  improvements.

  This series has been run through a full xfstests run over the weekend
  and through a quick xfstests run against this morning's master, with
  no major failures reported.

  Summary:

   - Strengthen inode number and structure validation when allocating
     inodes.
