Merge tag 'for-5.20-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "This brings some long awaited changes, the send protocol bump,
  otherwise lots of small improvements and fixes. The main core part is
  reworking bio handling, cleaning up the submission and endio and
  improving error handling.

  There are some changes outside of btrfs adding helpers or updating
  API, listed at the end of the changelog.

  Features:

   - sysfs:
      - export chunk size, in debug mode add tunable for setting its size
      - show zoned among features (was only in debug mode)
      - show commit stats (number, last/max/total duration)

   - send protocol updated to 2
      - new commands:
         - ability write larger data chunks than 64K
         - send raw compressed extents (uses the encoded data ioctls),
           ie. no decompression on send side, no compression needed on
           receive side if supported
         - send 'otime' (inode creation time) among other timestamps
         - send file attributes (a.k.a file flags and xflags)
      - this is first version bump, backward compatibility on send and
        receive side is provided
      - there are still some known and wanted commands that will be
        implemented in the near future, another version bump will be
        needed, however we want to minimize that to avoid causing
        usability issues

   - print checksum type and implementation at mount time

   - don't print some messages at mount (mentioned as people asked about
     it), we want to print messages namely for new features so let's
     make some space for that
      - big metadata - this has been supported for a long time and is
        not a feature that's worth mentioning
      - skinny metadata - same reason, set by default by mkfs

  Performance improvements:

   - reduced amount of reserved metadata for delayed items
      - when inserted items can be batched into one leaf
      - when deleting batched directory index items
      - when deleting delayed items used for deletion
      - overall improved count of files/sec, decreased subvolume lock
        contention

   - metadata item access bounds checker micro-optimized, with a few
     percent of improved runtime for metadata-heavy operations

   - increase direct io limit for read to 256 sectors, improved
     throughput by 3x on sample workload

  Notable fixes:

   - raid56
      - reduce parity writes, skip sectors of stripe when there are no
        data updates
      - restore reading from on-disk data instead of using stripe cache,
        this reduces chances to damage correct data due to RMW cycle

   - refuse to replay log with unknown incompat read-only feature bit
     set

   - zoned
      - fix page locking when COW fails in the middle of allocation
      - improved tracking of active zones, ZNS drives may limit the
        number and there are ENOSPC errors due to that limit and not
        actual lack of space
      - adjust maximum extent size for zone append so it does not cause
        late ENOSPC due to underreservation

   - mirror reading error messages show the mirror number

   - don't fallback to buffered IO for NOWAIT direct IO writes, we don't
     have the NOWAIT semantics for buffered io yet

   - send, fix sending link commands for existing file paths when there
     are deleted and created hardlinks for same files

   - repair all mirrors for profiles with more than 1 copy (raid1c34)

   - fix repair of compressed extents, unify where error detection and
     repair happen

  Core changes:

   - bio completion cleanups
      - don't double defer compression bios
      - simplify endio workqueues
      - add more data to btrfs_bio to avoid allocation for read requests
      - rework bio error handling so it's same what block layer does,
        the submission works and errors are consumed in endio
      - when asynchronous bio offload fails fall back to synchronous
        checksum calculation to avoid errors under writeback or memory
        pressure

   - new trace points
      - raid56 events
      - ordered extent operations

   - super block log_root_transid deprecated (never used)

   - mixed_backref and big_metadata sysfs feature files removed, they've
     been default for sufficiently long time, there are no known users
     and mixed_backref could be confused with mixed_groups

  Non-btrfs changes, API updates:

   - minor highmem API update to cover const arguments

   - switch all kmap/kmap_atomic to kmap_local

   - remove redundant flush_dcache_page()

   - address_space_operations::writepage callback removed

   - add bdev_max_segments() helper"

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.
