Merge tag 'xfs-4.17-merge-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "Here's the first round of fixes for XFS for 4.17.

  The biggest new features this time around are the addition of lazytime
  support, further enhancement of the on-disk inode metadata verifiers,
  and a patch to smooth over some of the AGFL padding problems that have
  intermittently plagued users since 4.5. I forsee sending a second pull
  request next week with further bug fixes and speedups in the online
  scrub code and elsewhere.

  This series has been run through a full xfstests run over the weekend
  and through a quick xfstests run against this morning's master, with
  no major failures reported.

  Summary of changes for this release:

   - Various cleanups and code fixes

   - Implement lazytime as a mount option

   - Convert various on-disk metadata checks from asserts to -EFSCORRUPTED

   - Fix accounting problems with the rmap per-ag reservations

   - Refactorings and cleanups for xfs_log_force

   - Various bugfixes for the reflink code

   - Work around v5 AGFL padding problems to prevent fs shutdowns

   - Establish inode fork verifiers to inspect on-disk metadata
     correctness

   - Various online scrub fixes

   - Fix v5 swapext blowing up on deleted inodes"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
