+Reverse-Mapping B+tree
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If the feature is enabled, each allocation group has its own reverse
+block-mapping B+tree, which grows in the free space like the free space
+B+trees. As mentioned in the chapter about
+`reconstruction <#metadata-reconstruction>`__, this data structure is another piece of
+the puzzle necessary to reconstruct the data or attribute fork of a file from
+reverse-mapping records; we can also use it to double-check allocations to
+ensure that we are not accidentally cross-linking blocks, which can cause
+severe damage to the filesystem.
+
+This B+tree is only present if the XFS\_SB\_FEAT\_RO\_COMPAT\_RMAPBT feature
+is enabled. The feature requires a version 5 filesystem.
+
+Each record in the reverse-mapping B+tree has the following structure:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+    struct xfs_rmap_rec {
+         __be32                     rm_startblock;
+         __be32                     rm_blockcount;
+         __be64                     rm_owner;
+         __be64                     rm_fork:1;
+         __be64                     rm_bmbt:1;
+         __be64                     rm_unwritten:1;
+         __be64                     rm_unused:7;
+         __be64                     rm_offset:54;
+    };
+
+**rm\_startblock**
+    AG block number of this record.
+
+**rm\_blockcount**
+    The length of this extent.
+
+**rm\_owner**
+    A 64-bit number describing the owner of this extent. This is typically the
+    absolute inode number, but can also correspond to one of the following:
+
+.. list-table::
+   :widths: 28 52
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - Flag
+     - Description
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_NULL
+     - No owner. This should never appear on disk.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_UNKNOWN
+     - Unknown owner; for EFI recovery. This should never appear on disk.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_FS
+     - Allocation group headers.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_LOG
+     - XFS log blocks.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_AG
+     - Per-allocation group B+tree blocks. This means free space B+tree blocks,
+       blocks on the freelist, and reverse-mapping B+tree blocks.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_INOBT
+     - Per-allocation group inode B+tree blocks. This includes free inode
+       B+tree blocks.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_INODES
+     - Inode chunks.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_REFC
+     - Per-allocation group refcount B+tree blocks. This will be used for
+       reflink support.
+
+   * - XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_COW
+     - Blocks that have been reserved for a copy-on-write operation that has
+       not completed.
+
+Table: Special owner values
+
+**rm\_fork**
+    If rm\_owner describes an inode, this can be 1 if this record is for an
+    attribute fork.
+
+**rm\_bmbt**
+    If rm\_owner describes an inode, this can be 1 to signify that this record
+    is for a block map B+tree block. In this case, rm\_offset has no meaning.
+
+**rm\_unwritten**
+    A flag indicating that the extent is unwritten. This corresponds to the
+    flag in the `extent record <#data-extents>`__ format which means
+    XFS\_EXT\_UNWRITTEN.
+
+**rm\_offset**
+    The 54-bit logical file block offset, if rm\_owner describes an inode.
+    Meaningless otherwise.
+
+    **Note**
+
+    The single-bit flag values rm\_unwritten, rm\_fork, and rm\_bmbt are
+    packed into the larger fields in the C structure definition.
+
+The key has the following structure:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+    struct xfs_rmap_key {
+         __be32                     rm_startblock;
+         __be64                     rm_owner;
+         __be64                     rm_fork:1;
+         __be64                     rm_bmbt:1;
+         __be64                     rm_reserved:1;
+         __be64                     rm_unused:7;
+         __be64                     rm_offset:54;
+    };
+
+For the reverse-mapping B+tree on a filesystem that supports sharing of file
+data blocks, the key definition is larger than the usual AG block number. On a
+classic XFS filesystem, each block has only one owner, which means that
+rm\_startblock is sufficient to uniquely identify each record. However, shared
+block support (reflink) on XFS breaks that assumption; now filesystem blocks
+can be linked to any logical block offset of any file inode. Therefore, the
+key must include the owner and offset information to preserve the 1 to 1
+relation between key and record.
+
+-  As the reference counting is AG relative, all the block numbers are only
+   32-bits.
+
+-  The bb\_magic value is "RMB3" (0x524d4233).
+
+-  The xfs\_btree\_sblock\_t header is used for intermediate B+tree node as
+   well as the leaves.
+
+-  Each pointer is associated with two keys. The first of these is the "low
+   key", which is the key of the smallest record accessible through the
+   pointer. This low key has the same meaning as the key in all other btrees.
+   The second key is the high key, which is the maximum of the largest key
+   that can be used to access a given record underneath the pointer. Recall
+   that each record in the reverse mapping b+tree describes an interval of
+   physical blocks mapped to an interval of logical file block offsets;
+   therefore, it makes sense that a range of keys can be used to find to a
+   record.
+
+xfs\_db rmapbt Example
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This example shows a reverse-mapping B+tree from a freshly populated root
+filesystem:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> agf 0
+    xfs_db> addr rmaproot
+    xfs_db> p
+    magic = 0x524d4233
+    level = 1
+    numrecs = 43
+    leftsib = null
+    rightsib = null
+    bno = 56
+    lsn = 0x3000004c8
+    uuid = 1977221d-8345-464e-b1f4-aa2ea36895f4
+    owner = 0
+    crc = 0x7cf8be6f (correct)
+    keys[1-43] = [startblock,owner,offset]
+    keys[1-43] = [startblock,owner,offset,attrfork,bmbtblock,startblock_hi,owner_hi,
+             offset_hi,attrfork_hi,bmbtblock_hi]
+            1:[0,-3,0,0,0,351,4418,66,0,0]
+            2:[417,285,0,0,0,827,4419,2,0,0]
+            3:[829,499,0,0,0,2352,573,55,0,0]
+            4:[1292,710,0,0,0,32168,262923,47,0,0]
+            5:[32215,-5,0,0,0,34655,2365,3411,0,0]
+            6:[34083,1161,0,0,0,34895,265220,1,0,1]
+            7:[34896,256191,0,0,0,36522,-9,0,0,0]
+            ...
+            41:[50998,326734,0,0,0,51430,-5,0,0,0]
+            42:[51431,327010,0,0,0,51600,325722,11,0,0]
+            43:[51611,327112,0,0,0,94063,23522,28375272,0,0]
+    ptrs[1-43] = 1:5 2:6 3:8 4:9 5:10 6:11 7:418 ... 41:46377 42:48784 43:49522
+
+We arbitrarily pick pointer 17 to traverse downwards:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> addr ptrs[17]
+    xfs_db> p
+    magic = 0x524d4233
+    level = 0
+    numrecs = 168
+    leftsib = 36284
+    rightsib = 37617
+    bno = 294760
+    lsn = 0x200002761
+    uuid = 1977221d-8345-464e-b1f4-aa2ea36895f4
+    owner = 0
+    crc = 0x2dad3fbe (correct)
+    recs[1-168] = [startblock,blockcount,owner,offset,extentflag,attrfork,bmbtblock]
+            1:[40326,1,259615,0,0,0,0] 2:[40327,1,-5,0,0,0,0]
+            3:[40328,2,259618,0,0,0,0] 4:[40330,1,259619,0,0,0,0]
+            ...
+            127:[40540,1,324266,0,0,0,0] 128:[40541,1,324266,8388608,0,0,0]
+            129:[40542,2,324266,1,0,0,0] 130:[40544,32,-7,0,0,0,0]
+
+Several interesting things pop out here. The first record shows that inode
+259,615 has mapped AG block 40,326 at offset 0. We confirm this by looking at
+the block map for that inode:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> inode 259615
+    xfs_db> bmap
+    data offset 0 startblock 40326 (0/40326) count 1 flag 0
+
+Next, notice records 127 and 128, which describe neighboring AG blocks that
+are mapped to non-contiguous logical blocks in inode 324,266. Given the
+logical offset of 8,388,608 we surmise that this is a leaf directory, but let
+us confirm:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> inode 324266
+    xfs_db> p core.mode
+    core.mode = 040755
+    xfs_db> bmap
+    data offset 0 startblock 40540 (0/40540) count 1 flag 0
+    data offset 1 startblock 40542 (0/40542) count 2 flag 0
+    data offset 3 startblock 40576 (0/40576) count 1 flag 0
+    data offset 8388608 startblock 40541 (0/40541) count 1 flag 0
+    xfs_db> p core.mode
+    core.mode = 0100644
+    xfs_db> dblock 0
+    xfs_db> p dhdr.hdr.magic
+    dhdr.hdr.magic = 0x58444433
+    xfs_db> dblock 8388608
+    xfs_db> p lhdr.info.hdr.magic
+    lhdr.info.hdr.magic = 0x3df1
+
+Indeed, this inode 324,266 appears to be a leaf directory, as it has regular
+directory data blocks at low offsets, and a single leaf block.
+
+Notice further the two reverse-mapping records with negative owners. An owner
+of -7 corresponds to XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_INODES, which is an inode chunk, and an
+owner code of -5 corresponds to XFS\_RMAP\_OWN\_AG, which covers free space
+B+trees and free space. Let’s see if block 40,544 is part of an inode chunk:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> blockget
+    xfs_db> fsblock 40544
+    xfs_db> blockuse
+    block 40544 (0/40544) type inode
+    xfs_db> stack
+    1:
+            byte offset 166068224, length 4096
+            buffer block 324352 (fsbno 40544), 8 bbs
+            inode 324266, dir inode 324266, type data
+    xfs_db> type inode
+    xfs_db> p
+    core.magic = 0x494e
+
+Our suspicions are confirmed. Let’s also see if 40,327 is part of a free space
+tree:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> fsblock 40327
+    xfs_db> blockuse
+    block 40327 (0/40327) type btrmap
+    xfs_db> type rmapbt
+    xfs_db> p
+    magic = 0x524d4233
+
+As you can see, the reverse block-mapping B+tree is an important secondary
+metadata structure, which can be used to reconstruct damaged primary metadata.
+Now let’s look at an extend rmap btree:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> agf 0
+    xfs_db> addr rmaproot
+    xfs_db> p
+    magic = 0x34524d42
+    level = 1
+    numrecs = 5
+    leftsib = null
+    rightsib = null
+    bno = 6368
+    lsn = 0x100000d1b
+    uuid = 400f0928-6b88-4c37-af1e-cef1f8911f3f
+    owner = 0
+    crc = 0x8d4ace05 (correct)
+    keys[1-5] = [startblock,owner,offset,attrfork,bmbtblock,startblock_hi,owner_hi,offset_hi,attrfork_hi,bmbtblock_hi]
+    1:[0,-3,0,0,0,705,132,681,0,0]
+    2:[24,5761,0,0,0,548,5761,524,0,0]
+    3:[24,5929,0,0,0,380,5929,356,0,0]
+    4:[24,6097,0,0,0,212,6097,188,0,0]
+    5:[24,6277,0,0,0,807,-7,0,0,0]
+    ptrs[1-5] = 1:5 2:771 3:9 4:10 5:11
+
+The second pointer stores both the low key [24,5761,0,0,0] and the high key
+[548,5761,524,0,0], which means that we can expect block 771 to contain
+records starting at physical block 24, inode 5761, offset zero; and that one
+of the records can be used to find a reverse mapping for physical block 548,
+inode 5761, and offset 524:
+
+::
+
+    xfs_db> addr ptrs[2]
+    xfs_db> p
+    magic = 0x34524d42
+    level = 0
+    numrecs = 168
+    leftsib = 5
+    rightsib = 9
+    bno = 6168
+    lsn = 0x100000d1b
+    uuid = 400f0928-6b88-4c37-af1e-cef1f8911f3f
+    owner = 0
+    crc = 0xd58eff0e (correct)
+    recs[1-168] = [startblock,blockcount,owner,offset,extentflag,attrfork,bmbtblock]
+    1:[24,525,5761,0,0,0,0]
+    2:[24,524,5762,0,0,0,0]
+    3:[24,523,5763,0,0,0,0]
+    ...
+    166:[24,360,5926,0,0,0,0]
+    167:[24,359,5927,0,0,0,0]
+    168:[24,358,5928,0,0,0,0]
+
+Observe that the first record in the block starts at physical block 24, inode
+5761, offset zero, just as we expected. Note that this first record is also
+indexed by the highest key as provided in the node block; physical block 548,
+inode 5761, offset 524 is the very last block mapped by this record.
+Furthermore, note that record 168, despite being the last record in this
+block, has a lower maximum key (physical block 382, inode 5928, offset 23)
+than the first record.
