Performance improvements:
- improve logging changes in a directory during one transaction, avoid
iterating over items and reduce lock contention (fsync time 4x lower)
- when logging directory entries during one transaction, reduce locking
of subvolume trees by checking tree-log instead (improvement in
throughput and latency for concurrent access to a subvolume)
Notable fixes:
- device replace:
- properly honor read mode when requested to avoid reading from source device
- target device won't be used for eventual read repair, this is
unreliable for NODATASUM files
- when there are unpaired (and unrepairable) metadata during replace,
exit early with error and don't try to finish whole operation
- scrub ioctl properly rejects unknown flags
- fix partial direct io write when there's a page fault in the middle,
iomap will try to continue with partial request but the btrfs part did
not match that, this can lead to zeros written instead of data
- fix backref walking, this breaks a mode of LOGICAL_INO_V2 ioctl that
is used in deduplication tools
- make mount option clear_cache work with block-group-tree, to rebuild
free-space-tree instead of temporarily disabling it that would lead to
a forced read-only mount
Core changes:
- io path
- continued cleanups and refactoring around bio handling
- extent io submit path simplifications and cleanups
- flush write path simplifications and cleanups
- rework logic of passing sync mode of bio, with further cleanups
- rewrite scrub code flow, restructure how the stripes are enumerated
and verified in a more unified way
- allow to set lower threshold for block group reclaim in debug mode to
aid zoned mode testing
- remove obsolete time-based delayed ref throttling logic when
truncating items

`v6.5-rc7 <https://git.kernel.org/linus/12e6ccedb311b32b16f767fdd606cc84630e45ae>`__
Performance improvements:
- speedup in fsync(), better tracking of inode logged status can avoid
transaction commit
- IO path structures track logical offsets in data structures and does
not need to look it up
- submit IO synchronously for fast checksums (crc32c and xxhash), remove
high priority worker kthread
User visible changes:
- don't commit transaction for every created subvolume, this can reduce
time when many subvolumes are created in a batch
- print affected files when relocation fails
- trigger orphan file cleanup during START_SYNC ioctl
- the ``async=discard`` has been enabled in 6.2 unconditionally, but for
zoned mode it does not make that much sense to do it asynchronously as
the zones are reset as needed
