Merge tag 'xfs-5.4-merge-7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "For this cycle we have the usual pile of cleanups and bug fixes, some
  performance improvements for online metadata scrubbing, massive
  speedups in the directory entry creation code, some performance
  improvement in the file ACL lookup code, a fix for a logging stall
  during mount, and fixes for concurrency problems.

  It has survived a couple of weeks of xfstests runs and merges cleanly.

  Summary:

   - Remove KM_SLEEP/KM_NOSLEEP.

   - Ensure that memory buffers for IO are properly sector-aligned to
     avoid problems that the block layer doesn't check.

   - Make the bmap scrubber more efficient in its record checking.

   - Don't crash xfs_db when superblock inode geometry is corrupt.

   - Fix btree key helper functions.

   - Remove unneeded error returns for things that can't fail.

   - Fix buffer logging bugs in repair.

   - Clean up iterator return values.

   - Speed up directory entry creation.

   - Enable allocation of xattr value memory buffer during lookup.

   - Fix readahead racing with truncate/punch hole.

   - Other minor cleanups.

   - Fix one AGI/AGF deadlock with RENAME_WHITEOUT.

   - More BUG -> WARN whackamole.

   - Fix various problems with the log failing to advance under certain
     circumstances, which results in stalls during mount"

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.
