With the new btree node scan code, we can now recover from corrupt btree roots - simply create a new fake root at depth 1, and then insert all the leaves we found. If the root wasn't corrupt but there's corruption elsewhere in the btree, we can fill in holes as needed with the newest version of a given node(s) from the scan; we also check if a given btree node is older than what we found from the scan.

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.
