Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"Features, highlights:
- async discard
- "mount -o discard=async" to enable it
- freed extents are not discarded immediatelly, but grouped
together and trimmed later, with IO rate limiting
- the "sync" mode submits short extents that could have been
ignored completely by the device, for SATA prior to 3.1 the
requests are unqueued and have a big impact on performance
- the actual discard IO requests have been moved out of
transaction commit to a worker thread, improving commit latency
- IO rate and request size can be tuned by sysfs files, for now
enabled only with CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG as we might need to
add/delete the files and don't have a stable-ish ABI for
general use, defaults are conservative
- export device state info in sysfs, eg. missing, writeable
- no discard of extents known to be untouched on disk (eg. after
reservation)
- device stats reset is logged with process name and PID that called
the ioctl
Fixes:
- fix missing hole after hole punching and fsync when using NO_HOLES
- writeback: range cyclic mode could miss some dirty pages and lead
to OOM
- two more corner cases for metadata_uuid change after power loss
during the change
- fix infinite loop during fsync after mix of rename operations
Core changes:
- qgroup assign returns ENOTCONN when quotas not enabled, used to
return EINVAL that was confusing
- device closing does not need to allocate memory anymore
- snapshot aware code got removed, disabled for years due to
performance problems, reimplmentation will allow to select wheter
defrag breaks or does not break COW on shared extents
- tree-checker:
- check leaf chunk item size, cross check against number of
stripes
- verify location keys for DIR_ITEM, DIR_INDEX and XATTR items
- new self test for physical -> logical mapping code, used for super
block range exclusion
- assertion helpers/macros updated to avoid objtool "unreachable
code" reports on older compilers or config option combinations"

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.
