Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"There are some new user features and the usual load of invisible
enhancements or cleanups.
New features:
- extend mount options to specify zlib compression level, -o
compress=zlib:9
- v2 of ioctl "extent to inode mapping", addressing a usecase where
we want to retrieve more but inaccurate results and do the
postprocessing in userspace, aiding defragmentation or
deduplication tools
- populate compression heuristics logic, do data sampling and try to
guess compressibility by: looking for repeated patterns, counting
unique byte values and distribution, calculating Shannon entropy;
this will need more benchmarking and possibly fine tuning, but the
base should be good enough
- enable indexing for btrfs as lower filesystem in overlayfs
- speedup page cache readahead during send on large files
Internal enhancements:
- more sanity checks of b-tree items when reading them from disk
- more EINVAL/EUCLEAN fixups, missing BLK_STS_* conversion, other
errno or error handling fixes
- remove some homegrown IO-related logic, that's been obsoleted by
core block layer changes (batching, plug/unplug, own counters)
- add ref-verify, optional debugging feature to verify extent
reference accounting
- simplify code handling outstanding extents, make it more clear
where and how the accounting is done
- make delalloc reservations per-inode, simplify the code and make
the logic more straightforward
- extensive cleanup of delayed refs code
Notable fixes:
- fix send ioctl on 32bit with 64bit kernel"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
