Chandan Babu R 1da824b0bf xfs: online repair for parent pointers [v13.4 5/9]
This series implements online repair for directory parent pointer
 metadata.  The checking half is fairly straightforward -- for each
 outgoing directory link (forward or backwards), grab the inode at the
 other end, and confirm that there's a corresponding link.  If we can't
 grab an inode or lock it, we'll save that link for a slower loop that
 cycles all the locks, confirms the continued existence of the link, and
 rechecks the link if it's actually still there.
 
 Repairs are a bit more involved -- for directories, we walk the entire
 filesystem to rebuild the dirents from parent pointer information.
 Parent pointer repairs do the same walk but rebuild the pptrs from the
 dirent information, but with the added twist that it duplicates all the
 xattrs so that it can use the atomic extent swapping code to commit the
 repairs atomically.
 
 This introduces an added twist to the xattr repair code -- we use dirent
 hooks to detect a colliding update to the pptr data while we're not
 holding the ILOCKs; if one is detected, we restart the xattr salvaging
 process but this time hold all the ILOCKs until the end of the scan.
 
 For offline repair, the phase6 directory connectivity scan generates an
 index of all the expected parent pointers in the filesystem.  Then it
 walks each file and compares the parent pointers attached to that file
 against the index generated, and resyncs the results as necessary.
 
 This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems.  Enjoy!

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 reStructuredText 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.
