xfs: document full filesystem scans for online fsck
Certain parts of the online fsck code need to scan every file in the entire filesystem. It is not acceptable to block the entire filesystem while this happens, which means that we need to be clever in allowing scans to coordinate with ongoing filesystem updates. We also need to hook the filesystem so that regular updates propagate to the staging records. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>
