Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:
"Fix a regression in extent map shrinker behaviour.
In the past weeks we got reports from users that there are huge
latency spikes or freezes. This was bisected to newly added shrinker
of extent maps (it was added to fix a build up of the structures in
memory).
I'm assuming that the freezes would happen to many users after release
so I'd like to get it merged now so it's in 6.10. Although the diff
size is not small the changes are relatively straightforward, the
reporters verified the fixes and we did testing on our side.
The fixes:
- adjust behaviour under memory pressure and check lock or scheduling
conditions, bail out if needed
- synchronize tracking of the scanning progress so inode ranges are
not skipped or work duplicated
- do a delayed iput when scanning a root so evicting an inode does
not slow things down in case of lots of dirty data, also fix
lockdep warning, a deadlock could happen when writing the dirty
data would need to start a transaction"

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.
