mainlining shenanigans

Since now we support data and metadata read-write for subpage, remove the RO requirement for subpage mount. There are some extra limitations though: - For now, subpage RW mount is still considered experimental Thus that mount warning will still be there. - No compression support There are still quite some PAGE_SIZE hard coded and quite some call sites use extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() to unlock locked_page. This will screw up subpage helpers. Now for subpage RW mount, no matter what mount option or inode attr is set, all writes will not be compressed. Although reading compressed data has no problem. - No defrag for subpage case The defrag support for subpage case will come in later patches, which will also rework the defrag workflow. - No inline extent will be created This is mostly due to the fact that filemap_fdatawrite_range() will trigger more write than the range specified. In fallocate calls, this behavior can make us to writeback which can be inlined, before we enlarge the i_size. This is a very special corner case, and even current btrfs check won't report error on such inline extent + regular extent. But considering how much effort has been put to prevent such inline + regular, I'd prefer to cut off inline extent completely until we have a good solution.

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.
