Chris Mason at Facebook sent in his Btrfs pull request on Friday for the Linux 3.18 kernel.

Notable Btrfs file-system changes for Linux 3.18 include cleaning up and improving the RAID recovery/repair support, fsync fixes, and a variety of other fixes and clean-ups. The rest of the changes are really just across the board while there's around 2,000 lines of new code.
