Merge tag 'for-6.12-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "This brings mostly refactoring, cleanups, minor performance
  optimizations and usual fixes. The folio API conversions are most
  noticeable.

  There's one less visible change that could have a high impact. The
  extent lock scope for read is reduced, not held for the entire
  operation. In the buffered read case it's left to page or inode lock,
  some direct io read synchronization is still needed.

  This used to prevent deadlocks induced by page faults during direct
  io, so there was a 4K limitation on the requests, e.g. for io_uring.
  In the future this will allow smoother integration with iomap where
  the extent read lock was a major obstacle.

  User visible changes:

   - the FSTRIM ioctl updates the processed range even after an error or
     interruption

   - cleaner thread is woken up in SYNC ioctl instead of waking the
     transaction thread that can take some delay before waking up the
     cleaner, this can speed up cleaning of deleted subvolumes

   - print an error message when opening a device fail, e.g. when it's
     unexpectedly read-only

  Core changes:

   - improved extent map handling in various ways (locking, iteration, ...)

   - new assertions and locking annotations

   - raid-stripe-tree locking fixes

   - use xarray for tracking dirty qgroup extents, switched from rb-tree

   - turn the subpage test to compile-time condition if possible (e.g.
     on x86_64 with 4K pages), this allows to skip a lot of ifs and
     remove dead code

   - more preparatory work for compression in subpage mode

  Cleanups and refactoring

   - folio API conversions, many simple cases where page is passed so
     switch it to folios

   - more subpage code refactoring, update page state bitmap processing

   - introduce auto free for btrfs_path structure, use for the simple
     cases"

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.
