xfs: online repair of file link counts Now that we've created the infrastructure to perform live scans of every file in the filesystem and the necessary hook infrastructure to observe live updates, use it to scan directories to compute the correct link counts for files in the filesystem, and reset those link counts. This patchset creates a tailored readdir implementation for scrub because the regular version has to cycle ILOCKs to copy information to userspace. We can't cycle the ILOCK during the nlink scan and we don't need all the other VFS support code (maintaining a readdir cursor and translating XFS structures to VFS structures and back) so it was easier to duplicate the code.

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.
