Awhile back, we changed bkey_format generation to ensure that the packed representation could never represent fields larger than the unpacked representation. This was to ensure that bkey_packed_successor() always gave a sensible result, but in the current code bkey_packed_successor() is only used in a debug assertion - not for anything important. This kills the requirement that we've gotten rid of those weird bkey formats, and instead changes the assertion to check if we're dealing with an old weird bkey format.

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.
