Consistent with our recent letter to the open source community
<a href="http://oss.sgi.com/letter_100103.txt">(http://oss.sgi.com/letter_100103.txt)</a>

SGI has removed and replaced a trivial number of code segments in 
XFS that may arguably be related to UNIX code.  These changes are in
      three areas: macros used to define and manipulate the extended
      inode mode bits (in xfs_vnode.h), macros for filesystem quota
      operations (in dqblk_xfs.h), and the data copying function
      uiomove() (in move.c).  These revisions also
      required insignificant changes to other files that interact with
      the revised code.  We encourage you to move promptly to this
      version of XFS.
</p>
<p>
This code is now available for download from our open source
      repository at 
      <a href="http://oss.sgi.com>http://oss.sgi.com,</a>
      Initially we have provided
      updated kernel patches for recent 2.4 series kernels, updated
      user space tools, and an updated version of the XFS 1.3
      release. The CVS repositories for the 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are
      also available.  Please contact
	<a href="mailto:xfs-masters@oss.sgi.com">xfs-masters@oss.sgi.com</a>.
      with any questions about this XFS update.
