Merge tag 'for-4.16-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Features or user visible changes:

   - fallocate: implement zero range mode

   - avoid losing data raid profile when deleting a device

   - tree item checker: more checks for directory items and xattrs

  Notable fixes:

   - raid56 recovery: don't use cached stripes, that could be
     potentially changed and a later RMW or recovery would lead to
     corruptions or failures

   - let raid56 try harder to rebuild damaged data, reading from all
     stripes if necessary

   - fix scrub to repair raid56 in a similar way as in the case above

  Other:

   - cleanups: device freeing, removed some call indirections, redundant
     bio_put/_get, unused parameters, refactorings and renames

   - RCU list traversal fixups

   - simplify mount callchain, remove recursing back when mounting a
     subvolume

   - plug for fsync, may improve bio merging on multiple devices

   - compression heurisic: replace heap sort with radix sort, gains some
     performance

   - add extent map selftests, buffered write vs dio"

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
