This is preparatory work for send protocol update to version 2 and higher. We have many pending protocol update requests but still don't have the basic protocol rev in place, the first thing that must happen is to do the actual versioning support. The protocol version is u32 and is a new member in the send ioctl struct. Validity of the version field is backed by a new flag bit. Old kernels would fail when a higher version is requested. Version protocol 0 will pick the highest supported version, BTRFS_SEND_STREAM_VERSION, that's also exported in sysfs. The version is still unchanged and will be increased once we have new incompatible commands or stream updates.

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.
