This lifts handling of overlapping extents out of __bch2_trans_commit() and moves it to where we first do the update - which means that BTREE_ITER_WITH_UPDATES can now work correctly in extents mode. Also, this patch reworks how extent triggers work: previously, on partial extent overwrite we would pass this information to the trigger, telling it what part of the extent was being overwritten. But, this approach has had too many subtle corner cases - now, we only mark whole extents, meaning on partial extent overwrite we unmark the old extent and mark the new extent.

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.
