Linus Torvalds 119d1b8a5d New code for 6.10:
* Introduce Parent Pointer extended attribute for inodes.
 
   * Online Repair
     - Implement atomic file content exchanges i.e. exchange ranges of bytes
       between two files atomically.
     - Create temporary files to repair file-based metadata. This uses atomic
       file content exchange facility to swap file fork mappings between the
       temporary file and the metadata inode.
 
     - Allow callers of directory/xattr code to set an explicit owner number to
       be written into the header fields of any new blocks that are created.
       This is required to avoid walking every block of the new structure and
       modify their ownership during online repair.
     - Repair
       - Extended attributes
       - Inode unlinked state
       - Directories
       - Symbolic links
       - AGI's unlinked inode list.
       - Parent pointers.
     - Move Orphan files to lost and found directory.
     - Fixes for Inode repair functionality.
     - Introduce a new sub-AG FITRIM implementation to reduce the duration for
       which the AGF lock is held.
     - Updates for the design documentation.
     - Use Parent Pointers to assist in checking directories, parent pointers,
       extended attributes, and link counts.
 
   * Bring back delalloc support for realtime devices which have an extent size
     that is equal to filesystem's block size.
 
   * Improve performance of log incompat feature handling.
 
   * Fixes
     - Prevent userspace from reading invalid file data due to incorrect.
       updation of file size when performing a non-atomic clone operation.
     - Minor fixes to online repair.
     - Fix confusing return values from xfs_bmapi_write().
     - Fix an out of bounds access due to incorrect h_size during log recovery.
     - Defer upgrading the extent counters in xfs_reflink_end_cow_extent() until
       we know we are going to modify the extent mapping.
     - Remove racy access to if_bytes check in xfs_reflink_end_cow_extent().
     - Fix sparse warnings.
 
   * Cleanups
     - Hold inode locks on all files involved in a rename until the completion
       of the operation. This is in preparation for the parent pointers patchset
       where parent pointers are applied in a separate chained update from the
       actual directory update.
     - Compile out v4 support when disabled.
     - Cleanup xfs_extent_busy_clear().
     - Remove unused flags and fields from struct xfs_da_args.
     - Remove definitions of unused functions.
     - Improve extended attribute validation.
     - Add higher level directory operations helpers to remove duplication of
       code.
     - Cleanup quota (un)reservation interfaces.

 "Online repair feature continues to be expanded. Also, we now support
  delayed allocation for realtime devices which have an extent size that
  is equal to filesystem's block size.

   - Bring back delalloc support for realtime devices which have an
     extent size that is equal to filesystem's block size

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 reStructuredText 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.
