Linus Torvalds babbcc0232 New code for 6.9:
* Online Repair;
   ** New ondisk structures being repaired.
      - Inode's mode field by trying to obtain file type value from the a
        directory entry.
      - Quota counters.
      - Link counts of inodes.
      - FS summary counters.
      - rmap btrees.
        Support for in-memory btrees has been added to support repair of rmap
        btrees.
   ** Misc changes
      - Report corruption of metadata to the health tracking subsystem.
      - Enable indirect health reporting when resources are scarce.
      - Reduce memory usage while reparing refcount btree.
      - Extend "Bmap update" intent item to support atomic extent swapping on
        the realtime device.
      - Extend "Bmap update" intent item to support extended attribute fork and
        unwritten extents.
   ** Code cleanups
      - Bmap log intent.
      - Btree block pointer checking.
      - Btree readahead.
      - Buffer target.
      - Symbolic link code.
   * Remove mrlock wrapper around the rwsem.
   * Convert all the GFP_NOFS flag usages to use the scoped
     memalloc_nofs_save() API instead of direct calls with the GFP_NOFS.
   * Refactor and simplify xfile abstraction. Lower level APIs in
     shmem.c are required to be exported in order to achieve this.
   * Skip checking alignment constraints for inode chunk allocations when block
     size is larger than inode chunk size.
   * Do not submit delwri buffers collected during log recovery when an error
     has been encountered.
   * Fix SEEK_HOLE/DATA for file regions which have active COW extents.
   * Fix lock order inversion when executing error handling path during
     shrinking a filesystem.
   * Remove duplicate ifdefs.

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.
