mainlining shenanigans
The total_bytes_pinned counter is completely broken when accounting delayed refs: - If two drops for the same extent are merged, we will decrement total_bytes_pinned twice but only increment it once. - If an add is merged into a drop or vice versa, we will decrement the total_bytes_pinned counter but never increment it. - If multiple references to an extent are dropped, we will account it multiple times, potentially vastly over-estimating the number of bytes that will be freed by a commit and doing unnecessary work when we're close to ENOSPC. The last issue is relatively minor, but the first two make the total_bytes_pinned counter leak or underflow very often. These accounting issues were introduced in |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
