Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:

 - regression fix: transaction commit can run away due to delayed ref
   waiting heuristic, this is not necessary now because of the proper
   reservation mechanism introduced in 5.0

 - regression fix: potential crash due to use-before-check of an ERR_PTR
   return value

 - fix for transaction abort during transaction commit that needs to
   properly clean up pending block groups

 - fix deadlock during b-tree node/leaf splitting, when this happens on
   some of the fundamental trees, we must prevent new tree block
   allocation to re-enter indirectly via the block group flushing path

 - potential memory leak after errors during mount

* tag 'for-5.0-rc4-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux:
  btrfs: On error always free subvol_name in btrfs_mount
  btrfs: clean up pending block groups when transaction commit aborts
  btrfs: fix potential oops in device_list_add
  btrfs: don't end the transaction for delayed refs in throttle
  Btrfs: fix deadlock when allocating tree block during leaf/node split

History
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.
