Hi Andrey,

Please pull this branch with changes for xfsprogs for 6.11-rc1.

As usual, I did a test-merge with the main upstream branch as of a few
minutes ago, and didn't see any conflicts.  Please let me know if you
encounter any problems.

The following changes since commit 5f10590bae67d7698191a1392b6b1d3ce4d11a0c:

xfs_db: allow setting current address to log blocks (2024-10-31 15:45:05 -0700)

xfs_metadump: support external devices [v5.3 4/7]

This series augments the xfs_metadump and xfs_mdrestore utilities to
capture the contents of an external log in a metadump, and restore it on
the other end.  This will enable better debugging analysis of broken
filesystems, since it will now be possible to capture external log data.
This is a prequisite for the rt groups feature, since we'll also need to
capture the rt superblocks written to the rt device.

This also means we can capture the contents of external logs for better
analysis by support staff.
