Linus Torvalds cef27048e5 bcachefs fixes for 6.9-rc5
various recovery fixes:
 
 - fixes for the btree_insert_entry being resized on path allocation
   btree_path array recently became dynamically resizable, and
   btree_insert_entry along with it; this was being observed during
   journal replay, when write buffer btree updates don't use the write
   buffer and instead use the normal btree update path
 - multiple fixes for deadlock in recovery when we need to do lots of
   btree node merges; excessive merges were clocking up the whole
   pipeline
 - write buffer path now correctly does btree node merges when needed
 - fix failure to go RW when superblock indicates recovery passes needed
   (i.e. to complete an unfinished upgrade)
 
 various unsafety fixes - test case contributed by a user who had two
 drives out of a six drive array write out a whole bunch of garbage after
 power failure
 
 new (tiny) on disk format feature: since it appears the btree node scan
 tool will be a more regular thing (crappy hardware, user error) - this
 adds a 64 bit per-device bitmap of regions that have ever had btree
 nodes.
 
 a path->should_be_locked fix, from a larger patch series tightening up
 invariants and assertions around btree transaction and path locking
 state; this particular fix prevents us from keeping around btree_paths
 that are no longer needed.

 "This gets recovery working again for the affected user I've been
  working with, and I'm still waiting to hear back on other bug reports

README

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.
