Sphinx reports htmldocs warning on deprecated mount options table:
/home/bagas/repo/linux-kernel/Documentation/admin-guide/xfs.rst:243: WARNING: Malformed table.
Text in column margin in table line 5.
=========================== ================
Name Removal Schedule
=========================== ================
Mounting with V4 filesystem September 2030
Mounting ascii-ci filesystem September 2030
ikeep/noikeep September 2025
attr2/noattr2 September 2025
=========================== ================
Extend the table markers to take account of the second name entry
("Mounting ascii-ci filesystem"), which is now the widest and
to fix the above warning.

This feature is a mess -- the hash function has been broken for the
entire 15 years of its existence if you create names with extended ascii
bytes; metadump name obfuscation has silently failed for just as long;
and the feature clashes horribly with the UTF8 encodings that most
systems use today. There is exactly one fstest for this feature.
In other words, this feature is crap. Let's deprecate it now so we can
remove it from the codebase in 2030.

xfs will not allow combining other panic masks with
XFS_PTAG_VERIFIER_ERROR.
# sysctl fs.xfs.panic_mask=511
sysctl: setting key "fs.xfs.panic_mask": Invalid argument
fs.xfs.panic_mask = 511
Update to the maximum value that can be set to allow the full range of
masks. Do this using a mask of possible values to prevent this happening
again as suggested by Darrick.

Since we're about to start using the blockgc workqueue to dispose of
inactivated inodes, strip the "block" prefix from the name; now it's
merely the general garbage collection (gc) workqueue.

In commit 9669f51de5 I tried to get rid of the undocumented cow gc
lifetime knob. The knob's function was never documented and it now
doesn't really have a function since eof and cow gc have been
consolidated.
Regrettably, xfs/231 relies on it and regresses on for-next. I did not
succeed at getting far enough through fstests patch review for the fixup
to land in time.
Restore the sysctl knob, document what it did (does?), put it on the
deprecation schedule, and rip out a redundant function.

Increase the parallelism level for pwork clients to the workqueue
defaults so that we can take advantage of computers with a lot of CPUs
and a lot of hardware. On fast systems this will speed up quotacheck by
a large factor, and the following posteof/cowblocks cleanup series will
use the functionality presented in this patch to run garbage collection
as quickly as possible.
We do this by switching the pwork workqueue to unbounded, since the
current user (quotacheck) runs lengthy scans for each work item and we
don't care about dispatching the work on a warm cpu cache or anything
like that. Also set WQ_SYSFS so that we can monitor where the wq is
running.

These optionr were for Irix compatibility, probably for clustered XFS
clients in a heterogenous cluster which contained both Irix & Linux
machines, so that behavior would be consistent. That doesn't exist anymore
and it's no longer needed.

ikeep/noikeep was a workaround for old DMAPI code which is no longer
relevant.
attr2/noattr2 - is for controlling upgrade behaviour from fixed attribute
fork sizes in the inode (attr1) and dynamic attribute fork sizes (attr2).
mkfs has defaulted to setting attr2 since 2007, hence just about every
XFS filesystem out there in production right now uses attr2.

The V4 filesystem format contains known weaknesses in the on-disk format
that make metadata verification diffiult. In addition, the format does
not support dates past 2038 and will not be upgraded to do so. We
should start the process of retiring the old format to close off attack
surfaces and to encourage users to migrate onto V5.
Therefore, make XFS V4 support a configurable option. For the first
period it will be default Y in case some distributors want to withdraw
support early; for the second period it will be default N so that anyone
who wishes to continue support can do so; and after that, support will
be removed from the kernel. Dates for these events have been added to
the upstream kernel.
