Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs
Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
"This is a pretty big pull, and most of these changes have been
floating in btrfs-next for a long time. Filipe's properties work is a
cool building block for inheriting attributes like compression down on
a per inode basis.
Jeff Mahoney kicked in code to export filesystem info into sysfs.
Otherwise, lots of performance improvements, cleanups and bug fixes.
Looks like there are still a few other small pending incrementals, but
I wanted to get the bulk of this in first"
