This makes some improvements to the logic for adding/removing replicas, as part of the larger erasure coding improvements. We now directly consider number of replicas desired for the given inode, and extent/pointer durability: this ensures that the extent ends up with the desired number of replicas when we're replacing multiple pointers with one that has higher durability (e.g. erasure coded).

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.
