Previously, we were using BTREE_INSERT_RESERVE in a lot of places where it no longer makes sense. - we now have more open_buckets than we used to, and the reserves work better, so we shouldn't need to use BTREE_INSERT_RESERVE just because we're holding open_buckets pinned anymore. - We have the btree key cache for updates to the alloc btree, meaning we no longer need the btree reserve to ensure the allocator can make forward progress. This means that we should only need a reserve for btree updates to ensure that copygc can make forward progress. Since it's now just for copygc, we can also fold RESERVE_BTREE into RESERVE_MOVINGGC (the allocator's freelist reserve).

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.
