The commit 8b1e5d193 (fs/xfs: Add bigtime incompat feature support)
introduced the bigtime support by adding some features in v3 inodes.
This change extended grub_xfs_inode struct by 76 bytes but also changed
the computation of XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE and XFS_V3_INODE_SIZE. Prior this
commit, XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE was 100 bytes. After the commit it's 84 bytes
XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE becomes 16 bytes too small.
As a result, the data structures aren't properly aligned and the GRUB
generates "attempt to read or write outside of partition" errors when
trying to read the XFS filesystem:
GNU GRUB version 2.11
....

grub> insmod part_gpt
grub> ls (hd0,gpt1)/
partmap/gpt.c:93: Read a valid GPT header

fs/xfs.c:515: Reading inode (739521961424144223) - 344365866970255880, 3840
error: attempt to read or write outside of partition.
This commit change the XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE computation by subtracting 76
bytes instead of 92 bytes from the actual size of grub_xfs_inode struct.
This 76 bytes value comes from added members:
20 grub_uint8_t unused5
1 grub_uint64_t flags2
48 grub_uint8_t unused6
This patch explicitly splits the v2 and v3 parts of the structure.
The unused4 is still ending of the v2 structures and the v3 starts
at unused5. Thanks to this we will avoid future corruptions of v2
or v3 inodes.
The XFS_V2_INODE_SIZE is returning to its expected size and the
filesystem is back to a readable state:

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. See the file MAINTAINERS for information about the GRUB maintainers, etc. If you found a security vulnerability in the GRUB please check the SECURITY file to get more information how to properly report this kind of bugs to the maintainers. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please see: info grub Introduction 'Changes from GRUB Legacy'
