Merge tag 'for-6.8-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux
Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"There are no exciting changes for users, it's been mostly API
conversions and some fixes or refactoring.
The mount API conversion is a base for future improvements that would
come with VFS. Metadata processing has been converted to folios, not
yet enabling the large folios but it's one patch away once everything
gets tested enough.
Core changes:
- convert extent buffers to folios:
- direct API conversion where possible
- performance can drop by a few percent on metadata heavy
workloads, the folio sizes are not constant and the calculations
add up in the item helpers
- both regular and subpage modes
- data cannot be converted yet, we need to port that to iomap and
there are some other generic changes required
- convert mount to the new API, should not be user visible:
- options deprecated long time ago have been removed: inode_cache,
recovery
- the new logic that splits mount to two phases slightly changes
timing of device scanning for multi-device filesystems
- LSM options will now work (like for selinux)
- convert delayed nodes radix tree to xarray, preserving the
preload-like logic that still allows to allocate with GFP_NOFS
- more validation of sysfs value of scrub_speed_max
- refactor chunk map structure, reduce size and improve performance
- extent map refactoring, smaller data structures, improved
performance
- reduce size of struct extent_io_tree, embedded in several
structures
- temporary pages used for compression are cached and attached to a
shrinker, this may slightly improve performance
- in zoned mode, remove redirty extent buffer tracking, zeros are
written in case an out-of-order is detected and proper data are
written to the actual write pointer
- cleanups, refactoring, error message improvements, updated tests
- verify and update branch name or tag
- remove unwanted text"

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.
