Pull more xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"As promised last week, this batch changes how xfs interacts with
memory reclaim; how the log batches and throttles log items; how hard
writes near ENOSPC will try to squeeze more space out of the
filesystem; and hopefully fix the last of the umount hangs after a
catastrophic failure.
Summary:
- Validate the realtime geometry in the superblock when mounting
- Refactor a bunch of tricky flag handling in the log code
- Flush the CIL more judiciously so that we don't wait until there
are millions of log items consuming a lot of memory.
- Throttle transaction commits to prevent the xfs frontend from
flooding the CIL with too many log items.
- Account metadata buffers correctly for memory reclaim.
- Mark slabs properly for memory reclaim. These should help reclaim
run more effectively when XFS is using a lot of memory.
- Don't write a garbage log record at unmount time if we're trying to
trigger summary counter recalculation at next mount.
- Don't block the AIL on locked dquot/inode buffers; instead trigger
its backoff mechanism to give the lock holder a chance to finish
up.
- Ratelimit writeback flushing when buffered writes encounter ENOSPC.
- Other minor cleanups.
- Make reflink a synchronous operation when the fs is mounted with
wsync or sync, which means that now we force the log to disk to
record the changes"

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.
