The function btrfs_map_block() is a critical part of the btrfs storage layer, which handles mapping of logical ranges to physical ranges. Thus it's better to have some basic explanation, especially on the following points: - Segment split by various boundaries As a continuous logical range may be split into different segments, due to various factors like zones and RAID0/5/6/10 boundaries. - The meaning of @mirror_num - The possible single stripe optimization - One deprecated parameter @need_raid_map Just explicitly mark it deprecated so we're aware of the problem.

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.
