Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This time the majority of changes are cleanups, though there's still a
number of changes of user interest.
User visible changes:
- better read time and write checks to catch errors early and before
writing data to disk (to catch potential memory corruption on data
that get checksummed)
- qgroups + metadata relocation: last speed up patch int the series
to address the slowness, there should be no overhead comparing
balance with and without qgroups
- FIEMAP ioctl does not start a transaction unnecessarily, this can
result in a speed up and less blocking due to IO
- LOGICAL_INO (v1, v2) does not start transaction unnecessarily, this
can speed up the mentioned ioctl and scrub as well
- fsync on files with many (but not too many) hardlinks is faster,
finer decision if the links should be fsynced individually or
completely
- send tries harder to find ranges to clone
- trim/discard will skip unallocated chunks that haven't been touched
since the last mount
Fixes:
- send flushes delayed allocation before start, otherwise it could
miss some changes in case of a very recent rw->ro switch of a
subvolume
- fix fallocate with qgroups that could lead to space accounting
underflow, reported as a warning
- trim/discard ioctl honours the requested range
- starting send and dedupe on a subvolume at the same time will let
only one of them succeed, this is to prevent changes that send
could miss due to dedupe; both operations are restartable
Core changes:
- more tree-checker validations, errors reported by fuzzing tools:
- device item
- inode item
- block group profiles
- tracepoints for extent buffer locking
- async cow preallocates memory to avoid errors happening too deep in
the call chain
- metadata reservations for delalloc reworked to better adapt in
many-writers/low-space scenarios
- improved space flushing logic for intense DIO vs buffered workloads
- lots of cleanups
- removed unused struct members
- redundant argument removal
- properties and xattrs
- extent buffer locking
- selftests
- use common file type conversions
- many-argument functions reduction"

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.
