"bcachefs; Fix deadlock in bch2_btree_update_start()" was a significant performance regression (nearly 50%) on multithreaded random writes with fio. The reason is that the journal watermark checks multiple things, including the state of the btree write buffer, and on multithreaded update heavy workloads we're bottleneked on write buffer flushing - we don't want kicknig off btree updates to depend on the state of the write buffer. This isn't strictly correct; the interior btree update path does do write buffer updates, but it's a tiny fraction of total accounting updates and we're more concerned with space in the journal itself.

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 reStructuredText 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.
