Dave Chinner a44a027a8b Merge tag 'large-extent-counters-v9' of https://github.com/chandanr/linux into xfs-5.19-for-next 
xfs: Large extent counters

The commit xfs: fix inode fork extent count overflow
(3f8a4f1d87) mentions that 10 billion
data fork extents should be possible to create. However the
corresponding on-disk field has a signed 32-bit type. Hence this
patchset extends the per-inode data fork extent counter to 64 bits
(out of which 48 bits are used to store the extent count).

Also, XFS has an attribute fork extent counter which is 16 bits
wide. A workload that,
1. Creates 1 million 255-byte sized xattrs,
2. Deletes 50% of these xattrs in an alternating manner,
3. Tries to insert 400,000 new 255-byte sized xattrs
   causes the xattr extent counter to overflow.

Dave tells me that there are instances where a single file has more
than 100 million hardlinks. With parent pointers being stored in
xattrs, we will overflow the signed 16-bits wide attribute extent
counter when large number of hardlinks are created. Hence this
patchset extends the on-disk field to 32-bits.

The following changes are made to accomplish this,
1. A 64-bit inode field is carved out of existing di_pad and
   di_flushiter fields to hold the 64-bit data fork extent counter.
2. The existing 32-bit inode data fork extent counter will be used to
   hold the attribute fork extent counter.
3. A new incompat superblock flag to prevent older kernels from mounting
   the filesystem.

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.
