Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"A number of core changes that make things work better in general, code
is simpler and cleaner.
Core changes:
- per-inode file extent tree, for in memory tracking of contiguous
extent ranges to make sure i_size adjustments are accurate
- tree root structures are protected by reference counts, replacing
SRCU that did not cover some cases
- leak detector for tree root structures
- per-transaction pinned extent tracking
- buffer heads are replaced by bios for super block access
- speedup of extent back reference resolution, on an example test
scenario the runtime of send went down from a hour to minutes
- factor out locking scheme used for subvolume writer and NOCOW
exclusion, abstracted as DREW lock, double reader-writer exclusion
(allow either readers or writers)
- cleanup and abstract extent allocation policies, preparation for
zoned device support
- make reflink/clone_range work on inline extents
- add more cancellation point for relocation, improves long response
from 'balance cancel'
- add page migration callback for data pages
- switch to guid for uuids, with additional cleanups of the interface
- make ranged full fsyncs more efficient
- removal of obsolete ioctl flag BTRFS_SUBVOL_CREATE_ASYNC
- remove b-tree readahead from delayed refs paths, avoiding seek and
read unnecessary blocks
Features:
- v2 of ioctl to delete subvolumes, allowing to delete by id and more
future extensions
Fixes:
- fix qgroup rescan worker that could block umount
- fix crash during unmount due to race with delayed inode workers
- fix dellaloc flushing logic that could create unnecessary chunks
under heavy load
- fix missing file extent item for hole after ranged fsync
- several fixes in relocation error handling
Other:
- more documentation of relocation, device replace, space
reservations
- many random cleanups"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
