Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"User visible changes:
- fall back to buffered write if direct io is done on a file that
requires checksums
- this avoids a problem with checksum mismatch errors, observed
e.g. on virtual images when writes to pages under writeback
cause the checksum mismatch reports
- this may lead to some performance degradation but currently the
recommended setup for VM images is to use the NOCOW file
attribute that also disables checksums
- fast/realtime zstd levels -15 to -1
- supported by mount options (compress=zstd:-5) and defrag ioctl
- improved speed, reduced compression ratio, check the commit for
sample measurements
- defrag ioctl extended to accept negative compression levels
- subpage mode
- remove warning when subpage mode is used, the feature is now
reasonably complete and tested
- in debug mode allow to create 2K b-tree nodes to allow testing
subpage on x86_64 with 4K pages too
Performance improvements:
- in send, better file path caching improves runtime (on sample load
by -30%)
- on s390x with hardware zlib support prepare the input buffer in a
better way to get the best results from the acceleration
- minor speed improvement in encoded read, avoid memory allocation in
synchronous mode
Core:
- enable stable writes on inodes, replacing manually waiting for
writeback and allowing to skip that on inodes without checksums
- add last checks and warnings for out-of-band dirty writes to pages,
requiring a fixup ("fixup worker"), this should not be necessary
since 5.8 where get_user_page() and pin_user_pages*() prevent this
- long history behind that, we'll be happy to remove the whole
infrastructure in the near future
- more folio API conversions and preparations for large folio support
- subpage cleanups and refactoring, split handling of data and
metadata to allow future support for large folios
- readpage works as block-by-block, no change for normal mode, this
is preparation for future subpage updates
- block group refcount fixes and hardening
- delayed iput fixes
- in zoned mode, fix zone activation on filesystem with missing
devices
Cleanups:
- inode parameter cleanups
- path auto-freeing updates
- code flow simplifications in send
- redundant parameter 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 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.
