Linux kernel source tree
7a51608d01
In backpointers fsck, we do a seqential scan of one btree, and check references to another: extents <-> backpointers Checking references generates random lookups, so we want to pin that btree in memory (or only a range, if it doesn't fit in ram). Previously, this was done with a simple check in the shrinker - "if btree node is in range being pinned, don't free it" - but this generated OOMs, as our shrinker wasn't well behaved if there was less memory available than expected. Instead, we now have two different shrinkers and lru lists; the second shrinker being for pinned nodes, with seeks set much higher than normal - so they can still be freed if necessary, but we'll prefer not to.

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.
