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.

Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:
"Two patches fixing the problem with aync discard.
The default settings had a low IOPS limit and processing a large batch
to discard would take a long time. On laptops this can cause increased
power consumption due to disk activity.
As async discard has been on by default since 6.2 this likely affects
a lot of users.
Summary:
- increase the default IOPS limit 10x which reportedly helped
- setting the sysfs IOPS value to 0 now does not throttle anymore
allowing the discards to be processed at full speed. Previously
there was an arbitrary 6 hour target for processing the pending
batch"

btrfs: reinterpret async discard iops_limit=0 as no delay
btrfs: set default discard iops_limit to 1000
