Merge tag 'for-6.10-rc7-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux

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"
