The XFS file-system updates were merged yesterday for the ongoing [1]Linux 6.13 merge window.

The [2]pull request of XFS feature updates for Linux 6.13 sums up the activity as " a major rework that Darrick [Wong] and Christoph [Hellwig] have been doing on XFS's real-time volume, coupled with a few features to support this rework. "

The XFS Linux 6.13 highlights include:

* convert perag to use xarrays

* create a new generic allocation group structure

* Add metadata inode dir trees

* Create in-core rt allocation groups

* Shard the RT section into allocation groups

* Persist quota options with the enw metadata dir tree

* Enable quota for RT volumes

* Enable metadata directory trees

* Some bugfixes

So for real-time (RT) volumes is now quota support, in-core RT allocation groups, and other low-level enhancements.

At least the XFS file-system updates managed to be [3]merged without any drama.
