There is already a replacement in the face of btrfs inspect-internal
dump-tree. And this command is just a simple wrapper around it. Just
remove it and adjust the show-blocks script to call the main btrfs
binary to achieve the same effect.
Informally deprecated since 4.4.

When debuging with "btrfs inspect dump-tree", it's not that handy if we
want to iterate all child tree blocks starting from a specified block.
-b can only print a single block, while without -b "btrfs inspect dump-tree"
will need extra tree roots fulfilled to continue, which is not possible
for a damaged filesystem.
Add a new option --follow to iterate a sub-tree starting from block
specified by --block.

We've been using asciidoc that's written in python2, which is going to
be phased out and deprecated next year. There's a replacement,
asciidoctor. Add a configure-time detection which tool is available,
update Documentation/Makefile.in.
The original asciidoc tool is still preferred as it produces slightly
better output. The file asciidoc.conf does not have a direct equivalten
in asciidoct and would need to be replaced by extension written in ruby.
The differences:
- the <literal> are not automatically underlined and are less visible in
the generated manual page, but it's still acceptable
- the inline CSS for the html output looks subjectively worse, is less
compact and colourful

Make --shrink a separate option for --rootdir, and change the default to
off.
The shrinking behaviour is not a commonly used feature but can be useful
for creating minimal pre-filled images, in one step, without requiring
to mount.

Introduce new subcommand 'fix-device-size' to the rescue group, to fix
device size alignment-related problems.
Especially for people unable to mount their fs with super::total_bytes
mismatch, this tool will fix the problems and let the mount continue.

This patch updates help/document of "btrfs device remove" in two points:
1. Add explanation of 'missing' for 'device remove'. This is only
written in wikipage currently.
(https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Using_Btrfs_with_Multiple_Devices)
2. Add example of device removal in the man document. This is because
that explanation of "remove" says "See the example section below", but
there is no example of removal currently.

Some people were asking why disabling compression via properties is not
set by "none" instead. As this is purely userspace conversion to "" that
kernel accepts, let's add "none" as well for convenience.

This patch changes "subvol set-default" to also accept the subvolume path
for convenience.
If there are two args, they are assumed as subvol id and path to the fs
(the same as current behavior), and if there is only one arg, it is assumed
as the path to the subvolume.
subvol id is resolved by test_issubvolume() + lookup_path_rootid().
The empty subvol (ino == 2) will get error on test_issubvolume() which
checks whether inode num is 256 or not.

Start documenting the ioctl interface to btrfs. The overall structure
should be settled, the formatting of the ioctl description may change in
the future, newly added ioctl descriptions should follow the examples of
BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE.
The document is not finished yet and will not be installed until most of
ioctls' details are filled in.

Adds zstd support to the btrfs program. An optional dependency on libzstd
>= 1.0.0 is added. Autoconf accepts `--enable-zstd' or `--disable-zstd' and
defaults to detecting if libzstd is present using `pkg-config'.
The patch is also available in my fork of btrfs-progs [1], which passes
Travis-CI with the new tests. The prebuilt binary is available there.
I haven't updated Android.mk.

Sometimes it's needed to do a check on a mounted filesystem. This should
work fine on a quiescent filesystem or a read-only mount. Changes on the
block device done by kernel might confuse the userspace checker and it
might crash when it reads some stale data.
Repair without mount checks is not supported right now.

While talking to another btrfs user on IRC today, it became clear that a
major point of confusion in the btrfs send manual is that it's not
telling the user soon enough that send/receive solely operates on
subvolume snapshots instead of the original (read/write) subvolumes.
So, change the first few lines to explicitly mention snapshots instead.
Technically, snapshots are also just subvolumes, but requiring this
level of technical detailed knowledge doesn't help the user who is just
trying out things.

Reported by a wiki user, that there are formatting artifacts in the

in html rendered as "The -t <em><type></em> option can be..."
This is probably due to the nesting '' and <>. We don't need the <> in
