Two new flags are added to allow omitting the stream header and the
end command for btrfs send streams. This is used in cases where you
send multiple snapshots back-to-back in one stream.
This used to be encoded like this (with 2 snapshots in this example):
<stream header> + <sequence of commands> + <end cmd> +
<stream header> + <sequence of commands> + <end cmd> + EOF
The new format (if the two new flags are used) is this one:
<stream header> + <sequence of commands> +
<sequence of commands> + <end cmd>
Note that the currently existing receivers treat <end cmd> only as
an indication that a new <stream header> is following. This means,
you can just skip the sequence <end cmd> <stream header> without
loosing compatibility. As long as an EOF is following, the currently
existing receivers handle the new format (if the two new flags are
used) exactly as the old one.
So what is the benefit of this change? The goal is to be able to use
a single stream (one TCP connection) to multiplex a request/response
handshake plus Btrfs send streams, all in the same stream. In this
case you cannot evaluate an EOF condition as an end of the Btrfs send
stream. You need something else, and the <end cmd> is just perfect
for this purpose.
The summary is:
The format change is driven by the need to send several Btrfs send
streams over a single TCP connections, with the ability for a repeated
request/response handshake in the middle. And this format change does
not break any existing tool, it is completely compatible.
You could compare the old behaviour of the Btrfs send stream to the
one of ftp where you need a seperate request/response channel and
newly opened data transfer channels for each file, while the new
behaviour is more like http using a single stream for everything.

This patch adds the flag, BTRFS_SEND_FLAG_NO_FILE_DATA to the btrfs send
ioctl code. When this flag is set, the btrfs send code will never write file
data into the stream (thus also avoiding expensive reads of that data in the
first place). BTRFS_SEND_C_UPDATE_EXTENT commands will be sent (instead of
BTRFS_SEND_C_WRITE) with an offset, length pair indicating the extent in
question.
This patch does not affect the operation of BTRFS_SEND_C_CLONE commands -
they will continue to be sent when a search finds an appropriate extent to
clone from.

The header file will then be installed under /usr/include/linux so that
userspace applications can refer to Btrfs ioctls by name and use the same
structs used internally in the kernel.
