Backpointers has been merged!
Added 2022-06-15 19:05:46 +0000 UTCNew on disk format, required upgrade. Your existing filesystem will be automagically upgraded when you upgrade kernel & tools to the new version.
What this means: much more efficient copygc. In the future we'll be using it for other things too, like possibly accelerating rebalance. The new backpointers fsck code may eventually replace a good chunk of our other fsck code, too.
Scrub is coming soon, too - I've started refactoring the data update path to prepare for that.
No major changes planned before upstreaming, now (scrub is a small one :)

Cool. Getting there slowly but surely.
