Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This continues with work on code refactoring, sanity checks and space
handling. There are some less user visible changes, nothing that would
particularly stand out.
User visible changes:
- tree checker, more sanity checks of:
- ROOT_ITEM (key, size, generation, level, alignment, flags)
- EXTENT_ITEM and METADATA_ITEM checks (key, size, offset,
alignment, refs)
- tree block reference items
- EXTENT_DATA_REF (key, hash, offset)
- deprecate flag BTRFS_SUBVOL_CREATE_ASYNC for subvolume creation
ioctl, scheduled removal in 5.7
- delete stale and unused UAPI definitions
BTRFS_DEV_REPLACE_ITEM_STATE_*
- improved export of debugging information available via existing
sysfs directory structure
- try harder to delete relations between qgroups and allow to delete
orphan entries
- remove unreliable space checks before relocation starts
Core:
- space handling:
- improved ticket reservations and other high level logic in
order to remove special cases
- factor flushing infrastructure and use it for different
contexts, allows to remove some special case handling
- reduce metadata reservation when only updating inodes
- reduce global block reserve minimum size (affects small
filesystems)
- improved overcommit logic wrt global block reserve
- tests:
- fix memory leaks in extent IO tree
- catch all TRIM range
Fixes:
- fix ENOSPC errors, leading to transaction aborts, when cloning
extents
- several fixes for inode number cache (mount option inode_cache)
- fix potential soft lockups during send when traversing large trees
- fix unaligned access to space cache pages with SLUB debug on
(PowerPC)
Other:
- refactoring public/private functions, moving to new or more
appropriate files
- defines converted to enums
- error handling improvements
- more assertions and comments
- old code deletion"

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.
