There are some not immediately obvious details about the operation of check_committed_ref(), namely that when it returns 0 it must return with the path having a locked leaf from the extent tree that contains the extent's extent item, so that we can later check for delayed refs when calling check_delayed_ref() in a way that doesn't race with a task running delayed references. For similar reasons, it must also return with a locked leaf when the extent item is not found, and that leaf is where the extent item should be located, because we may have delayed references that are going to create the extent item. Also document that the function can return false positives in order to not be too slow, and that the most important is to not return false negatives. So add a function comment to check_committed_ref(). Reviewed-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
