This reverts commit6ff646b2ce. Your maintainer committed a major braino in the rmap code by adding the attr fork, bmbt, and unwritten extent usage bits into rmap record key comparisons. While XFS uses the usage bits *in the rmap records* for cross-referencing metadata in xfs_scrub and xfs_repair, it only needs the owner and offset information to distinguish between reverse mappings of the same physical extent into the data fork of a file at multiple offsets. The other bits are not important for key comparisons for index lookups, and never have been. Eric Sandeen reports that this causes regressions in generic/299, so undo this patch before it does more damage.

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.
