Both. :)  See mkfs.xfs(8)...

              The  option  maxpct=value  specifies  the  maximum percentage of
              space in the filesystem that can be allocated  to  inodes.   The
              default  value is 25%.  Setting the value to 0 means that essen-
              tially all of the filesystem can become inode blocks.

and xfs_growfs(8)...


       -m     Specify  a  new value for the maximum percentage of space in the
              filesystem that can be allocated as inodes.  In mkfs.xfs this is
              specified with -i maxpct=nn.

cheers.
