There's a weird discrepancy in xfsprogs dating back to the creation of
the Linux port -- if there are zero rt extents, mkfs will set
sb_rextents and sb_rextslog both to zero:
sbp->sb_rextslog =
(uint8_t)(rtextents ?
libxfs_highbit32((unsigned int)rtextents) : 0);
However, that's not the check that xfs_repair uses for nonzero rtblocks:
if (sb->sb_rextslog !=
libxfs_highbit32((unsigned int)sb->sb_rextents))
The difference here is that xfs_highbit32 returns -1 if its argument is
zero. Unfortunately, this means that in the weird corner case of a
realtime volume shorter than 1 rt extent, xfs_repair will immediately
flag a freshly formatted filesystem as corrupt. Because mkfs has been
writing ondisk artifacts like this for decades, we have to accept that
as "correct". TBH, zero rextslog for zero rtextents makes more sense to
me anyway.
Regrettably, the superblock verifier checks created in commit copied
xfs_repair even though mkfs has been writing out such filesystems for
ages. Fix the superblock verifier to accept what mkfs spits out; the
userspace version of this patch will have to fix xfs_repair as well.
Note that the new helper leaves the zeroday bug where the upper 32 bits
of sb_rextents is ripped off and fed to highbit32. This leads to a
seriously undersized rt summary file, which immediately breaks mkfs:
$ hugedisk.sh foo /dev/sdc $(( 0x100000080 * 4096))B
$ /sbin/mkfs.xfs -f /dev/sda -m rmapbt=0,reflink=0 -r rtdev=/dev/mapper/foo

Discarding blocks...Done.
mkfs.xfs: Error initializing the realtime space [117 - Structure needs cleaning]
The next patch will drop support for rt volumes with fewer than 1 or
more than 2^32-1 rt extents, since they've clearly been broken forever.

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.
