Merge tag 'for-5.12-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "This brings updates of space handling, performance improvements or bug
  fixes. The subpage block size and zoned mode features have reached
  state where they're usable but with limitations.

  Performance or related:

   - do not block on deleted block group mutex in the cleaner, avoids
     some long stalls

   - improved flushing: make it work better with ticket space
     reservations and avoid excessive transaction commits in some
     scenarios, slightly improves throughput for random write load

   - preemptive background flushing: separate the logic from ticket
     reservations, improve the accounting and decisions when to flush in
     low space conditions

   - less lock contention related to running delayed refs, let just one
     thread do the flushing when there are many inside transaction
     commit

   - dbench workload improvements: avoid unnecessary work when logging
     inodes, fewer fallbacks to transaction commit and thus less waiting
     for it (+7% throughput, -20% latency)

  Core:

   - subpage block size
      - currently read-only support
      - refactor and generalize code where sectorsize is assumed to be
        page size, add the subpage handling everywhere
      - the read-write support is on the way, page sizes are still
        limited to 4K or 64K

   - zoned mode, first working version but with limitations
      - SMR/ZBC/ZNS friendly allocation mode, utilizing the "no fixed
        location for structures" and chunked allocation
      - superblock as the only fixed data structure needs special
        handling, uses 2 consecutive zones as a ring buffer
      - tree-log support with a dedicated block group to avoid unordered
        writes
      - emulated zones on non-zoned devices
      - not yet working
      - all non-single block group profiles, requires more zone write
        pointer synchronization between the multiple block groups
      - fitrim due to dependency on space cache, can be implemented

  Fixes:

   - ref-verify: proper tree owner and node level tracking

   - fix pinned byte accounting, causing some early ENOSPC now more
     likely due to other changes in delayed refs

  Other:

   - error handling fixes and improvements

   - more error injection points

   - more function documentation

   - more and updated tracepoints

   - subset of W=1 checked by default

   - update comments to allow more automatic kdoc parameter checks"

README

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.
