Merge tag 'for-6.4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Mostly core changes and cleanups, some notable fixes and two
  performance improvements in directory logging.

  The IO path cleanups are removing or refactoring old code, scrub main
  loop has been completely rewritten also refactoring old code.

  There are some changes to non-btrfs code, mostly trivial, the cgroup
  punt bio logic is only moved from generic code.

  Performance improvements:

   - improve logging changes in a directory during one transaction,
     avoid iterating over items and reduce lock contention (fsync time
     4x lower)

   - when logging directory entries during one transaction, reduce
     locking of subvolume trees by checking tree-log instead
     (improvement in throughput and latency for concurrent access to a
     subvolume)

  Notable fixes:

   - dev-replace:
      - properly honor read mode when requested to avoid reading from
        source device
      - target device won't be used for eventual read repair, this is
        unreliable for NODATASUM files
      - when there are unpaired (and unrepairable) metadata during
        replace, exit early with error and don't try to finish whole
        operation

   - scrub ioctl properly rejects unknown flags

   - fix global block reserve calculations

   - fix partial direct io write when there's a page fault in the
     middle, iomap will try to continue with partial request but the
     btrfs part did not match that, this can lead to zeros written
     instead of data

  Core changes:

   - io path:
      - continued cleanups and refactoring around bio handling
      - extent io submit path simplifications and cleanups
      - flush write path simplifications and cleanups
      - rework logic of passing sync mode of bio, with further cleanups

   - rewrite scrub code flow, restructure how the stripes are enumerated
     and verified in a more unified way

   - allow to set lower threshold for block group reclaim in debug mode
     to aid zoned mode testing

   - remove obsolete time-based delayed ref throttling logic when
     truncating items

   - DREW locks are not using percpu variables anymore

   - more warning fixes (-Wmaybe-uninitialized)

   - u64 division simplifications

   - error handling improvements

  Non-btrfs code changes:

   - push cgroup punt bio logic to btrfs code (there was no other user
     of that), the functionality can be now selected separately by
     BLK_CGROUP_PUNT_BIO

   - crc32c_impl removed after removing last uses in btrfs code

   - add btrfs_assertfail() to objtool table"

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.
