Merge tag 'for-6.13-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "Changes outside of btrfs: add io_uring command flag to track a dying
  task (the rest will go via the block git tree).

  User visible changes:

   - wire encoded read (ioctl) to io_uring commands, this can be used on
     itself, in the future this will allow 'send' to be asynchronous. As
     a consequence, the encoded read ioctl can also work in non-blocking
     mode

   - new ioctl to wait for cleaned subvolumes, no need to use the
     generic and root-only SEARCH_TREE ioctl, will be used by "btrfs
     subvol sync"

   - recognize different paths/symlinks for the same devices and don't
     report them during rescanning, this can be observed with LVM or DM

   - seeding device use case change, the sprout device (the one
     capturing new writes) will not clear the read-only status of the
     super block; this prevents accumulating space from deleted
     snapshots

  Performance improvements:

   - reduce lock contention when traversing extent buffers

   - reduce extent tree lock contention when searching for inline
     backref

   - switch from rb-trees to xarray for delayed ref tracking,
     improvements due to better cache locality, branching factors and
     more compact data structures

   - enable extent map shrinker again (prevent memory exhaustion under
     some types of IO load), reworked to run in a single worker thread
     (there used to be problems causing long stalls under memory
     pressure)

  Core changes:

   - raid-stripe-tree feature updates:
       - make device replace and scrub work
       - implement partial deletion of stripe extents
       - new selftests

   - split the config option BTRFS_DEBUG and add EXPERIMENTAL for
     features that are experimental or with known problems so we don't
     misuse debugging config for that

   - subpage mode updates (sector < page):
       - update compression implementations
       - update writepage, writeback

   - continued folio API conversions:
       - buffered writes

   - make buffered write copy one page at a time, preparatory work for
     future integration with large folios, may cause performance drop

   - proper locking of root item regarding starting send

   - error handling improvements

   - code cleanups and refactoring:
       - dead code removal
       - unused parameter reduction
       - lockdep assertions"

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.
