Linus Torvalds babf0bb978 xfs: Changes for 5.19-rc1
This update includes:
 - support for printk message indexing.
 - large extent counts to provide support for up to 2^47 data extents and 2^32
   attribute extents, allowing us to scale beyond 4 billion data extents
   to billions of xattrs per inode.
 - conversion of various flags fields to be consistently declared as
   unsigned bit fields.
 - improvements to realtime extent accounting and converts them to per-cpu
   counters to match all the other block and inode accounting.
 - reworks core log formatting code to reduce iterations, have a shorter, cleaner
   fast path and generally be easier to understand and maintain.
 - improvements to rmap btree searches that reduce overhead by up
   to 30% resulting in xfs_scrub runtime reductions of 15%.
 - improvements to reflink that remove the size limitations in remapping operations
   and greatly reduce the size of transaction reservations.
 - reworks the minimum log size calculations to allow us to change transaction
   reservations without changing the minimum supported log size.
 - removal of quota warning support as it has never been used on Linux.
 - intent whiteouts to allow us to cancel intents that are completed entirely
   in memory rather than having use CPU and disk bandwidth formatting and writing
   them into the journal when it is not necessary. This makes rmap, reflink and
   extent freeing slightly more efficient, but provides massive improvements
   for....
 - Logged Attribute Replay feature support. This is a fundamental change to the
   way we modify attributes, laying the foundation for future integration of
   attribute modifications as part of other atomic transactional operations the
   filesystem performs.
 - Lots of cleanups and fixes for the logged attribute replay functionality.

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "This is a big update with lots of new code. The summary below them
  all, so I'll just touch on teh higlights. The two main new features
  are Large Extent Counts and Logged Attribute Replay - these are two
  new foundational features that we are building more complex future
  features on top of.

  For upcoming functionality, we need to be able to store hundreds of
  millions of xattrs per inode. The Large Extent Count feature removes
  the limits that prevent this scale of xattr storage, and while we were
  modifying the on disk extent count format we also increased the number
  of data extents we support per inode from 2^32 to 2^47.

  We also need to be able to modify xattrs as part of larger atomic
  transactions rather than as standalone transactions. The Logged
  Attribute Replay feature introduces the infrastructure that allows us
  to use intents to record the attribute modifications in the journal
  before we start them, hence allowing other atomic transactions to log
  attribute modification intents and then defer the actual modification
  to later. If we then crash, log recovery then guarantees that the
  attribute is replayed in the context of the atomic transaction that
  logged the intent.

  A significant chunk of the commits in this merge are for the base
  attribute replay functionality along with fixes, improvements and
  cleanups related to this new functioanlity. Allison deserves a big
  round of thanks for her ongoing work to get this functionality into
  XFS.

  There are also many other smaller changes and improvements, so overall
  this is one of the bigger XFS merge requests in some time.

  I will be following up next week with another smaller pull request -
  we already have another round of fixes and improvements to the logged
  attribute replay functionality just about ready to go. They'll soak
  and test over the next week, and I'll send a pull request for them
  near the end of the merge window.

  Summary:

   - support for printk message indexing.

   - large extent counts to provide support for up to 2^47 data extents
     and 2^32 attribute extents, allowing us to scale beyond 4 billion
     data extents to billions of xattrs per inode.

   - conversion of various flags fields to be consistently declared as
     unsigned bit fields.

   - improvements to realtime extent accounting and converts them to
     per-cpu counters to match all the other block and inode accounting.

   - reworks core log formatting code to reduce iterations, have a
     shorter, cleaner fast path and generally be easier to understand
     and maintain.

   - improvements to rmap btree searches that reduce overhead by up to
     30% resulting in xfs_scrub runtime reductions of 15%.

   - improvements to reflink that remove the size limitations in
     remapping operations and greatly reduce the size of transaction
     reservations.

   - reworks the minimum log size calculations to allow us to change
     transaction reservations without changing the minimum supported log
     size.

     Linux.

     entirely in memory rather than having use CPU and disk bandwidth

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 Restructured Text 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.
