Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"Apart from numerous cleanups, there are some performance improvements
and one minor mount option update. There's one more radix-tree
conversion (one remaining), and continued work towards enabling large
folios (almost finished).
Performance:
- extent buffer conversion to xarray gains throughput and runtime
improvements on metadata heavy operations doing writeback (sample
test shows +50% throughput, -33% runtime)
- extent io tree cleanups lead to performance improvements by
avoiding unnecessary searches or repeated searches
- more efficient extent unpinning when committing transaction
(estimated run time improvement 3-5%)
User visible changes:
- remove standalone mount option 'nologreplay', deprecated in 5.9,
replacement is 'rescue=nologreplay'
- in scrub, update reporting, add back device stats message after
detected errors (accidentally removed during recent refactoring)
Core:
- convert extent buffer radix tree to xarray
- in subpage mode, move block perfect compression out of experimental
build
- in zoned mode, introduce sub block groups to allow managing special
block groups, like the one for relocation or tree-log, to handle
some corner cases of ENOSPC
- in scrub, simplify bitmaps for block tracking status
- continued preparations for large folios:
- remove assertions for folio order 0
- add support where missing: compression, buffered write, defrag,
hole punching, subpage, send
- fix fsync of files with no hard links not persisting deletion
- reject tree blocks which are not nodesize aligned, a precaution
from 4.9 times
- move transaction abort calls closer to the error sites
- remove usage of some struct bio_vec internals
- simplifications in extent map
- extent IO cleanups and optimizations
- error handling improvements
- enhanced ASSERT() macro with optional format strings
- cleanups:
- remove unused code
- naming unifications, dropped __, added prefix
- merge similar functions
- use common helpers for various data structures"

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 reStructuredText 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.
