Merge tag 'xfs-5.3-merge-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux
Pull xfs cleanups from Darrick Wong:
"We had a few more lateish cleanup patches come in for 5.3 -- a couple
of syncups with the userspace libxfs code and a conversion of the XFS
administrator's guide to ReST format.
Summary:
- Bring fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_inode.c in sync with userspace
libxfs.
- Convert the xfs administrator guide to rst and move it into the
official admin guide under Documentation"
* tag 'xfs-5.3-merge-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
Documentation: filesystem: Convert xfs.txt to ReST
