Merge tag 'for-5.17-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "This end of the year branch is intentionally not that exciting. Most
  of the changes are under the hood, but there are some minor user
  visible improvements and several performance improvements too.

  Features:

   - make send work with concurrent block group relocation.

     We're not allowed to prevent send failing or silently producing
     some bad stream but with more fine grained locking and checks it's
     possible. The send vs deduplication exclusion could reuse the same
     logic in the future.

   - new exclusive operation 'balance paused' to allow adding a device
     to filesystem with paused balance

   - new sysfs file for fsid stored in the per-device directory to help
     distinguish devices when seeding is enabled, the fsid may differ
     from the one reported by the filesystem

  Performance improvements:

   - less metadata needed for directory logging, directory deletion is
     20-40% faster

   - in zoned mode, cache zone information during mount to speed up
     repeated queries (about 50% speedup)

   - free space tree entries get indexed and searched by size (latency
     -30%, search run time -30%)

   - less contention in tree node locking when inserting a key and no
     splits are needed (files/sec in fsmark improves by 1-20%)

  Fixes:

   - fix ENOSPC failure when attempting direct IO write into NOCOW range

   - fix deadlock between quota enable and other quota operations

   - global reserve minimum calculations fixed to account for free space
     tree

   - in zoned mode, fix condition for chunk allocation that may not find
     the right zone for reuse and could lead to early ENOSPC

  Core:

   - global reserve stealing got simplified and cleaned up in evict

   - remove async transaction commit based on manual transaction refs,
     reuse existing kthread and mechanisms to let it commit transaction
     before timeout

   - preparatory work for extent tree v2, add wrappers for global tree
     roots, truncation path cleanups

   - remove readahead framework, it's a bit overengineered and used only
     for scrub, and yet it does not cover all its needs, there is
     another readahead built in the b-tree search that is now used,
     performance drop on HDD is about 5% which is acceptable and scrub
     is often throttled anyway, on SSDs there's no reported drop but
     slight improvement

   - self tests report extent tree state when error occurs

   - replace assert with debugging information when an uncommitted
     transaction is found at unmount time

  Other:

   - error handling improvements

   - other cleanups and refactoring"

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.
