Linus Torvalds e231dbd452 bcachefs fixes for 6.8-rc6
Some more mostly boring fixes, but some not
 
 User reported ones:
  - the BTREE_ITER_FILTER_SNAPSHOTS one fixes a really nasty performance
    bug; user reported an unter initially taking 2 seconds and then ~2
    minutes
 
  - kill a __GFP_NOFAIL in the buffered read path; this was a leftover
    from the trickier fix to kill __GFP_NOFAIL in readahead, where we
    can't return errors (and have to silently truncate the read
    ourselves).
 
    bcachefs can't use GFP_NOFAIL for folio state unlike iomap based
    filesystems because our folio state is just barely too big, 2MB
    hugepages cause us to exceed the 2 page threshhold for GFP_NOFAIL.
 
    additionally, the flags argument was just buggy, we weren't supplying
    GFP_KERNEL previously (!).

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.
