There sre 3 bits in member high of struct bkey are never used, and no plan to support them in future, - HEADER_SIZE, start at bit 58, length 2 bits - KEY_PINNED, start at bit 55, length 1 bit No any kernel code, or user space tool references or accesses the three bits. Therefore it is possible and feasible to reserve the valuable bits from bkey.high. They can be used in future for other purpose.

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.
