The top-level deduplication index brings all the earlier components together. The top-level index creates the separate zone structures that enable the index to handle several requests in parallel, handles dispatching requests to the right zones and components, and coordinates metadata to ensure that it remain consistent. It also coordinates recovery in the event of an unexpected index failure. If sparse caching is enabled, the top-level index also handles the coordination required by the sparse chapter index cache, which (unlike most index structures) is shared among all zones.

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.
