Merge tag 'for-5.6-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

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.
