Linux kernel stable tree
e3e464ac6d
Ever since the btree code was first written, handling of overwriting existing extents - including partially overwriting and splittin existing extents - was handled as part of the core btree insert path. The modern transaction and iterator infrastructure didn't exist then, so that was the only way for it to be done. This patch moves that outside of the core btree code to a pass that runs at transaction commit time. This is a significant simplification to the btree code and overall reduction in code size, but more importantly it gets us much closer to the core btree code being completely independent of extents and is important prep work for snapshots. This introduces a new feature bit; the old and new extent update models are incompatible when the filesystem needs journal replay. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
