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.
