XFS status update for September 2011

August saw further release candidates of Linux 3.1, which had been completely uneventful with just a single small regression fix being merged.

In the meantime developments for the Linux 3.2 kernel went on with the merge of a large series that completely refactors the XFS-internal xfs_bmapi interfaces for simpler interfaces and less stack usage, as well as various smaller cleanups and fixes.

September also was a very busy month for userspace development. In xfsprogs we saw various error handling fixes to libxcmd, libxfs, mkfs.xfs, xfs_quota and xfs_repair, xfsdump saw a few smaller changes finishing up the large work done in August. Xfstests saw 4 new test cases contributed from various developers, and the usual handful of bug fixes.
