The design doc for XFS online fsck contains a long discussion of the
eventual consistency models in use for XFS metadata. In that chapter,
we note that it is possible for scrub to collide with a chain of
deferred space metadata updates, and proposes a lightweight solution:
The use of a pending-intents counter so that scrub can wait for the
system to drain all chains.
This patchset implements that scrub drain. The first patch implements
the basic mechanism, and the subsequent patches reduce the runtime
overhead by converting the implementation to use sloppy counters and
introducing jump labels to avoid walking into scrub hooks when it isn't
running. This last paradigm repeats elsewhere in this megaseries.
v23.1: make intent items take an active ref to the perag structure and
document why we bump and drop the intent counts when we do

README
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.
