Merge tag 'for-5.7-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "A number of core changes that make things work better in general, code
  is simpler and cleaner.

  Core changes:

   - per-inode file extent tree, for in memory tracking of contiguous
     extent ranges to make sure i_size adjustments are accurate

   - tree root structures are protected by reference counts, replacing
     SRCU that did not cover some cases

   - leak detector for tree root structures

   - per-transaction pinned extent tracking

   - buffer heads are replaced by bios for super block access

   - speedup of extent back reference resolution, on an example test
     scenario the runtime of send went down from a hour to minutes

   - factor out locking scheme used for subvolume writer and NOCOW
     exclusion, abstracted as DREW lock, double reader-writer exclusion
     (allow either readers or writers)

   - cleanup and abstract extent allocation policies, preparation for
     zoned device support

   - make reflink/clone_range work on inline extents

   - add more cancellation point for relocation, improves long response
     from 'balance cancel'

   - add page migration callback for data pages

   - switch to guid for uuids, with additional cleanups of the interface

   - make ranged full fsyncs more efficient

   - removal of obsolete ioctl flag BTRFS_SUBVOL_CREATE_ASYNC

   - remove b-tree readahead from delayed refs paths, avoiding seek and
     read unnecessary blocks

  Features:

   - v2 of ioctl to delete subvolumes, allowing to delete by id and more
     future extensions

  Fixes:

   - fix qgroup rescan worker that could block umount

   - fix crash during unmount due to race with delayed inode workers

   - fix dellaloc flushing logic that could create unnecessary chunks
     under heavy load

   - fix missing file extent item for hole after ranged fsync

   - several fixes in relocation error handling

  Other:

   - more documentation of relocation, device replace, space
     reservations

   - many random cleanups"

README

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.
