* Fast commit performance improvements
* Multi-fsblock atomic write support for bigalloc file systems
* Large folio support for regular files
This last can result in really stupendous performance for the right
workloads. For example, see [1] where the Kernel Test Robot reported
over 37% improvement on a large sequential I/O workload.

There are also the usual bug fixes and cleanups. Of note are cleanups
of the extent status tree to fix potential races that could result in
the extent status tree getting corrupted under heavy siulatneous
allocation and deallocation to a single file.
