Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"There are a number of major cleanups in ext4 this cycle:
- The data=journal writepath has been significantly cleaned up and
simplified, and reduces a large number of data=journal special
cases by Jan Kara.
- Ojaswin Muhoo has replaced linked list used to track extents that
have been used for inode preallocation with a red-black tree in the
multi-block allocator. This improves performance for workloads
which do a large number of random allocating writes.
- Thanks to Kemeng Shi for a lot of cleanup and bug fixes in the
multi-block allocator.
- Matthew wilcox has converted the code paths for reading and writing
ext4 pages to use folios.
- Jason Yan has continued to factor out ext4_fill_super() into
smaller functions for improve ease of maintenance and
comprehension.
- Josh Triplett has created an uapi header for ext4 userspace API's"

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.
