There are a lot of members using much larger type in btrfs_raid_bio than necessary, like nr_pages which represents the total number of a full stripe. Instead of int (which is at least 32bits), u16 is already enough (max stripe length will be 256MiB, already beyond current RAID56 device number limit). So this patch will reduce the width of the following members: - stripe_len to u32 - nr_pages to u16 - nr_data to u8 - real_stripes to u8 - scrubp to u8 - faila/b to s8 As -1 is used to indicate no corruption This will slightly reduce the size of btrfs_raid_bio from 272 bytes to 256 bytes, reducing 16 bytes usage. But please note that, when using btrfs_raid_bio, we allocate extra space for it to cover various pointer array, so the reduce memory is not really a big saving overall. As we're here modifying the comments already, update existing comments to current code standard.

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.
