XFS uses xfs_rtblock_t for many different uses, which makes it much more difficult to perform a unit analysis on the codebase. One of these (ab)uses is when we need to store the length of a free space extent as stored in the realtime bitmap. Because there can be up to 2^64 realtime extents in a filesystem, we need a new type that is larger than xfs_rtxlen_t for callers that are querying the bitmap directly. This means scrub and growfs. Create this type as "xfs_rtbxlen_t" and use it to store 64-bit rtx lengths. 'b' stands for 'bitmap' or 'big'; reader's choice. 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.
