For file systems where we can afford to keep the buddy bitmaps cached, we can speed up initial writes to large file systems by starting to load the block allocation bitmaps as soon as the file system is mounted. This won't work well for _super_ large file systems, or memory constrained systems, so we only enable this when it is requested via a mount option.

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.
