This introduces a new alloc key which doesn't use varints. Soon we'll be adding backpointers and storing them in alloc keys, which means our pack/unpack workflow for alloc keys won't really work - we'll need to be mutating alloc keys in place. Instead of bch2_alloc_unpack(), we now have bch2_alloc_to_v4() that converts older types of alloc keys to v4 if needed. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>
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.
