This patch significantly cleans up and simplifies the data_update interface. Instead of only being able to specify a single pointer by device to rewrite, we're now able to specify any or all of the pointers in the original extent to be rewrited, as a bitmask. data_cmd is no more: the various pred functions now just return true if the extent should be moved/updated. All the data_update path does is rewrite existing replicas, or add new ones. This fixes a bug where with background compression on replicated filesystems, where rebalance -> data_update would incorrectly drop the wrong old replica, and keep trying to recompress an extent pointer and each time failing to drop the right replica. Oops. Now, the data update path doesn't look at the io options to decide which pointers to keep and which to drop - it only goes off of the data_update_options passed to it.

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.
