By looking into git log these look like small fixes for 3.1.x. Could

I think these three are not a great idea for 3.1.x. They result in
significant changes of behaviour that can result in increased memory
consumption by default. I'd prefer that we don't make changes to the
default behaviour in a bug-fix only point release.
3a19fb7dce9d570e78deaf5c26c0ab8a4a5bef67 libxfs: stop caching inode
looks like wasting memory fix to me but ok.
The last paragraph ofi the commit message points out the problems
that can occur with memory consumption. For sparse inode
populations, the buffer cache can consume much more memory than the
inode cache did, and that can cause OOM problems with repair...
As it is, it is a significant change of behaviour, so for a
lightweight bug-fix only release I feel that it is out-of-scope...
Cheers,
Dave.
I'll get this put together by Monday unless someone else wants to do it.
