Centos 7.0 and mismatched swap file
...time. When the workload IO
involves a lot of concurrency, XFS over linear will beat XFS or ext4
over raid0. Whereas for streaming performance workloads, striped raid
will work better. If redundancy is needed, mdadm permits creation of
1+linear, as compared to 10.

You can think of XFS on linear as being something like raid0 at a file
level, rather than at a block level. On a completely empty file system
if you start copying a pile of dozens or more (typically hundreds or
thousands) of files in mail directories, XFS dist...

Have a look at

On page 105 the inode structure is given:
__uint16_t di_onlink;
...
__uint32_t di_nlink
Page 107 gives more detail:
di_onlink:
In v1 inodes, this specifies the number of links to the inode from
directories. When the number exceeds 65535,the inode is converted to v2
and the link count is s...
