[PATCH 0/4] xfs: random fixes

Hi all,

Here's a few more random fixes for 5.7. The first patch solves some
conflicts between users of empty transactions and fs freeze that were
causing long delays and ASSERT failures during freeze.

The second patch adds some missing realtime device geometry checks to
the superblock verifier.

The last two patches teach the directory and xattr scrubbers to release
buffers sooner than later, which reduces memory pressure on clients
with large directories and not a lot of RAM.

If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just
pull from my git trees, which are linked below.

This is an extraordinary way to destroy everything. Enjoy!
Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
