Recovery and fsck have many different passes/jobs to do, which always run in the same order - but not all of them run all the time. Some are for fsck, some for unclean shutdown, some for version upgrades. This adds some new structure: a defined list of recovery passes that we can run in a loop, as well as consolidating the log messages. The main benefit is consolidating the "should run this recovery pass" logic, as well as cleaning up the "this recovery pass has finished" state; instead of having a bunch of ad-hoc state bits in c->flags, we've now got c->curr_recovery_pass. By consolidating the "should run this recovery pass" logic, in the future on disk format upgrades will be able to say "upgrading to this version requires x passes to run", instead of forcing all of fsck to run.

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.
