We now have all the infrastructure we need to repair file metadata. We'll begin with the realtime summary file, because it is the least complex data structure. To support this we need to add three more pieces to the temporary file code from the previous patchset -- preallocating space in the temp file, formatting metadata into that space and writing the blocks to disk, and swapping the fork mappings atomically. After that, the actual reconstruction of the realtime summary information is pretty simple, since we can simply write the incore copy computed by the rtsummary scrubber to the temporary file, swap the contents, and reap the old blocks. This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy! Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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 reStructuredText 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.
