Merge tag 'for-5.9-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "We don't have any big feature updates this time, there are lots of
  small enhacements or fixes. A highlight perhaps is the parallel fsync
  performance improvements, numbers below.

  Regarding the dio/iomap that was reverted last time, the required API
  changes are likely to land in the upcoming cycle, the btrfs part will
  be updated afterwards.

  User visible changes:

   - new mount option rescue= to group all recovery-related mount
     options so we don't have many specific options, currently
     introducing only aliases for existing options, future extensions
     are in development to allow read-only mount with partially damaged
     structures:
      - usebackuproot is an alias for rescue=usebackuproot
      - nologreplay is an alias for rescue=nologreplay

   - start deprecation of mount option inode_cache, removal scheduled to
     v5.11

   - removed deprecated mount options alloc_start and subvolrootid

   - device stats corruption counter gets incremented when a checksum
     mismatch is found

   - qgroup information exported in /sys/fs/btrfs/<UUID>/qgroups/<id>
     using sysfs

   - add link /sys/fs/btrfs/<UUID>/bdi pointing to the associated
     backing dev info

   - FS_INFO ioctl enhancements:
      - add flags to request/describe newly added items
      - new item: numeric checksum type and checksum size
      - new item: generation
      - new item: metadata_uuid

   - seed device: with one new read-write device added, print the new
     device information in /proc/mounts

   - balance: detect cancellation by Ctrl-C in existing cancellation
     points

  Performance improvements:

   - optimized versions of various helpers on little-endian
     architectures, where we don't have to do LE/BE conversion from
     on-disk format

   - tree-log/fsync optimizations leading to lower max latency reported
     by dbench, reduced by about 12%

   - all chunk tree leaves are prefetched at mount time, can improve
     mount time on large (terabyte-sized) filesystems

   - speed up parallel fsync of files with reflinked/deduped extents,
     with jobs 16 to 1024 the throughput gets improved roughly by 50% on
     average and runtime decreased roughly by 30% on average, notable
     outlier is 128 jobs with +121.2% on throughput and -54.6% runtime

   - another speed up of parallel fsync, reduce number of checksum tree
     lookups and contention, the improvements start to show up with 2
     tasks with +20% throughput and -16% runtime up to 64 with +200%
     throughput and -66% runtime

  Core:

   - umount-time qgroup leak checker

   - qgroups
      - add a way to unreserve partial range after failure, avoiding
        some EDQUOT errors
      - improved flushing logic when EDQUOT is hit

   - possible EINTR interruption caused by failed reservations after
     transaction start is better handled and documented

   - transaction abort errors are unified to EROFS in case it's not the
     original reason of abort or we don't have other way to determine
     the reason

  Fixes:

   - make truncate succeed on a NOCOW file even if data space is
     exhausted

   - fix cancelling balance on filesystem with exhausted metadata space

   - anon block device:
      - preallocate anon bdev when subvolume is created to report
        failure early
      - shorten time the anon bdev id is allocated
      - don't allocate anon bdev for internal roots

   - minor memory leak in ref-verify

   - refuse invalid combinations of compression and NOCOW file flags

   - lockdep fixes, updating the device locks

   - remove obsolete fallback logic for block group profile adjustments
     when switching from 1 to more devices, causing allocation of
     unwanted block groups

  Other cleanups, refactoring, simplifications:

   - conversions from struct inode to struct btrfs_inode in internal
     functions

   - removal of unused struct members"

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.
