commit 13eaec4b2adf2657b8167b67e27c97cc7314d923 upstream. Alex Lyakas reported[1] that mounting an xfs filesystem with new sunit and swidth values could cause xfs_repair to fail loudly. The problem here is that repair calculates the where mkfs should have allocated the root inode, based on the superblock geometry. The allocation decisions depend on sunit, which means that we really can't go updating sunit if it would lead to a subsequent repair failure on an otherwise correct filesystem. Port from xfs_repair some code that computes the location of the root inode and teach mount to skip the ondisk update if it would cause problems for repair. Along the way we'll update the documentation, provide a function for computing the minimum AGFL size instead of open-coding it, and cut down some indenting in the mount code. Note that we allow the mount to proceed (and new allocations will reflect this new geometry) because we've never screened this kind of thing before. We'll have to wait for a new future incompat feature to enforce correct behavior, alas. Note that the geometry reporting always uses the superblock values, not the incore ones, so that is what xfs_info and xfs_growfs will report.

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.
