Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This update brings a few minor performance improvements, otherwise
there's a lot of refactoring, cleanups and other sort of not user
visible changes.
Performance improvements:
- inline b-tree locking functions, improvement in metadata-heavy
changes
- relax locking on a range that's being reflinked, allows read
operations to run in parallel
- speed up NOCOW write checks (throughput +9% on a sample test)
- extent locking ranges have been reduced in several places, namely
around delayed ref processing
Core:
- more page to folio conversions:
- relocation
- send
- compression
- inline extent handling
- super block write and wait
- extent_map structure optimizations:
- reduced structure size
- code simplifications
- add shrinker for allocated objects, the numbers can go high and
could exhaust memory on smaller systems (reported) as they may
not get an opportunity to be freed fast enough
- extent locking optimizations:
- reduce locking ranges where it does not seem to be necessary and
are safe due to other means of synchronization
- potential improvements due to lower contention,
allocation/freeing and state management operations of extent
state tracking structures
- delayed ref cleanups and simplifications
- updated trace points
- improved error handling, warnings and assertions
- cleanups and refactoring, unification of error handling paths"

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.
