Merge tag 'xfs-rmap-for-linus-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs

Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle, and
  contains the new reverse block mapping feature for XFS.

  Reverse mapping allows us to track the owner of a specific block on
  disk precisely.  It is implemented as a set of btrees (one per
  allocation group) that track the owners of allocated extents.
  Effectively it is a "used space tree" that is updated when we allocate
  or free extents.  i.e. it is coherent with the free space btrees we
  already maintain and never overlaps with them.

  This reverse mapping infrastructure is the building block of several
  upcoming features - reflink, copy-on-write data, dedupe, online
  metadata and data scrubbing, highly accurate bad sector/data loss
  reporting to users, and significantly improved reconstruction of
  damaged and corrupted filesystems.  There's a lot of new stuff coming
  along in the next couple of cycles,a nd it all builds in the rmap
  infrastructure.

  As such, it's a huge chunk of new code with new on-disk format
  features and internal infrastructure.  It warns at mount time as an
  experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new
  on-disk features until they stabilise).  We have not released
  userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
  download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
  access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
  Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel
  with this code in it is released.

  The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC
  related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few
  hours ago.  The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of
  the upcoming reflink patchset.  This new ENOSPC infrastructure
  requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in
  check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so
  we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them.

  This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in
  the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change"
