Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"User visible changes, feature updates:
- when using block size > page size, enable direct IO
- fallback to buffered IO if the data profile has duplication,
workaround to avoid checksum mismatches on block group profiles
with redundancy, real direct IO is possible on single or RAID0
- redo export of zoned statistics, moved from sysfs to
/proc/pid/mountstats due to size limitations of the former
Experimental features:
- remove offload checksum tunable, intended to find best way to do it
but since we've switched to offload to thread for everything we
don't need it anymore
- initial support for remap-tree feature, a translation layer of
logical block addresses that allow changes without moving/rewriting
blocks to do eg. relocation, or other changes that require COW
Notable fixes:
- automatic removal of accidentally leftover chunks when
free-space-tree is enabled since mkfs.btrfs v6.16.1
- zoned mode:
- do not try to append to conventional zones when RAID is mixing
zoned and conventional drives
- fixup write pointers when mixing zoned and conventional on
DUP/RAID* profiles
- when using squota, relax deletion rules for qgroups with 0 members
to allow easier recovery from accounting bugs, also add more checks
to detect bad accounting
- fix periodic reclaim scanning, properly check boundary conditions
not to trigger it unexpectedly or miss the time to run it
- trim:
- continue after first error
- change reporting to the first detected error
- add more cancellation points
- reduce contention of big device lock that can block other
operations when there's lots of trimmed space
- when chunk allocation is forced (needs experimental build) fix
transaction abort when unexpected space layout is detected
Core:
- switch to crypto library API for checksumming, removed module
dependencies, pointer indirections, etc.
- error handling improvements
- adjust how and where transaction commit or abort are done and are
maybe not necessary
- minor compression optimization to skip single block ranges
- improve how compression folios are handled
- new and updated selftests
- cleanups, refactoring:
- auto-freeing and other automatic variable cleanup conversion
- structure size optimizations
- condition annotations"
