xfs: online repair for fs summary counters A longstanding deficiency in the online fs summary counter scrubbing code is that it hasn't any means to quiesce the incore percpu counters while it's running. There is no way to coordinate with other threads are reserving or freeing free space simultaneously, which leads to false error reports. Right now, if the discrepancy is large, we just sort of shrug and bail out with an incomplete flag, but this is lame. For repair activity, we actually /do/ need to stabilize the counters to get an accurate reading and install it in the percpu counter. To improve the former and enable the latter, allow the fscounters online fsck code to perform an exclusive mini-freeze on the filesystem. The exclusivity prevents userspace from thawing while we're running, and the mini-freeze means that we don't wait for the log to quiesce, which will make both speedier. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
