Deletion of a subvolume by rmdir(2) has become allowed by the
'commit cd2decf640b1 ("btrfs: Allow rmdir(2) to delete an empty
subvolume")'.
It is a kind of new feature and this commits add a sysfs entry
/sys/fs/btrfs/features/rmdir_subvol
to indicate the availability of the feature so that a user program
(e.g. fstests) can detect it.
Prior to this commit, all entries in /sys/fs/btrfs/features are feature
which depend on feature bits of superblock (i.e. each feature affects
on-disk format) and managed by attribute_group "btrfs_feature_attr_group".
For each fs, entries in /sys/fs/btrfs/UUID/features indicate which
features are enabled (or can be changed online) for the fs.
However, rmdir_subvol feature only depends on kernel module. Therefore
new attribute_group "btrfs_static_feature_attr_group" is introduced and
sysfs_merge_group() is used to share /sys/fs/btrfs/features directory.
Features in "btrfs_static_feature_attr_group" won't be listed in each
/sys/fs/btrfs/UUID/features.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
