Hi all,
This is part of the fifth revision of a patchset for adding support to
XFS for tracking reverse-mappings of physical blocks to file and
metadata; and support for mapping multiple file logical blocks to the
same physical block, more commonly known as reflinking.
This patch set does the following:
* Adds a chapter discussing the importance of thoroughly testing new
disk format changes with xfstests, and how to find the source code.
* Adds in all the disk format changes for Linux 4.5.
* Separates the btree sections into a separate chapter about the
generic btree structure, and adds a section about the new support
for overlapped interval records.
* Adds chapters discussing reflink, the reference count btree, and
* the reserve-mapping btree.
The patch set is based on the current master branch of xfs-docs[1].
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
