This patchset improves the performance of log incompat feature bit handling by making a few changes to how the filesystem handles them. First, we now only clear the bits during a clean unmount to reduce calls to the (expensive) upgrade function to once per bit per mount. Second, we now only allow incompat feature upgrades for sysadmins or if the sysadmin explicitly allows it via mount option. Currently the only log incompat user is logged xattrs, which requires CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y, so there should be no user visible impact to this change. 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.
