Darrick J. Wong d69769356a xfs: revert "xfs: fix rmap key and record comparison functions"
[ Upstream commit eb8409071a ]

This reverts commit 6ff646b2ce.

Your maintainer committed a major braino in the rmap code by adding the
attr fork, bmbt, and unwritten extent usage bits into rmap record key
comparisons.  While XFS uses the usage bits *in the rmap records* for
cross-referencing metadata in xfs_scrub and xfs_repair, it only needs
the owner and offset information to distinguish between reverse mappings
of the same physical extent into the data fork of a file at multiple
offsets.  The other bits are not important for key comparisons for index
lookups, and never have been.

Eric Sandeen reports that this causes regressions in generic/299, so
undo this patch before it does more damage.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
