- Fix online fsck to handle inode btrees correctly on 64k block
filesystems.
- Teach online fsck to check directory and attribute names for invalid
characters.
- Miscellanous fixes for online fsck.
- Introduce a new panic mask so that we can halt immediately on
metadata corruption (for debugging purposes)
- Fix a block mapping race during writeback.
- Cache unlinked inode list backrefs in memory to speed up list
processing.
- Separate the bnobt/cntbt and inobt/finobt buffer verifiers so that we
can detect crosslinked btrees.
- Refactor magic number verification so that we can standardize it.
- Strengthen ondisk metadata structure offset build time verification.
- Fix a memory corruption problem in the listxattr code.
- Fix a shutdown problem during log recovery due to unreserved finobt
expansion.
- Fix a referential integrity problem where O_TMPFILE inodes were put on
the unlinked list with nlink > 0 which would cause asserts during log
recovery if the system went down immediately.
- Refactor the delayed allocation allocator to be more clever about the
possibility that its mapping might be stale.
- Various fixes to the copy on write mechanism.
- Make CoW preallocation suitable for use even with writes that wouldn't
otherwise require it.
- Refactor an internal API.
- Fix some statx implementation bugs.
- Fix miscellaneous compiler and static checker complaints.

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"Here are a number of new features and bug fixes for 5.1
They've undergone a week's worth of fstesting and merge cleanly with
master as of this morning
Most of the changes center on improving metadata validation and fixing
problems with online fsck, though there's also a new cache to speed up
unlinked inode handling and cleanup of the copy on write code in
preparation for future features
Changes for Linux 5.1:
- Fix online fsck to handle inode btrees correctly on 64k block
filesystems
- Teach online fsck to check directory and attribute names for
invalid characters
- Miscellanous fixes for online fsck

metadata corruption (for debugging purposes)
- Fix a block mapping race during writeback

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.
