Btrfs uses internally mapped u64 address space for all its metadata. Due to the page cache limit on 32bit systems, btrfs can't access metadata at or beyond (ULONG_MAX + 1) << PAGE_SHIFT. See how MAX_LFS_FILESIZE and page::index are defined. This is 16T for 4K page size while 256T for 64K page size. Users can have a filesystem which doesn't have metadata beyond the boundary at mount time, but later balance can cause it to create metadata beyond the boundary. And modification to MM layer is unrealistic just for such minor use case. We can't do more than to prevent mounting such filesystem or warn early when the numbers are still within the limits. To address such problem, this patch will introduce the following checks: - Mount time rejection This will reject any fs which has metadata chunk at or beyond the boundary. - Mount time early warning If there is any metadata chunk beyond 5/8th of the boundary, we do an early warning and hope the end user will see it. - Runtime extent buffer rejection If we're going to allocate an extent buffer at or beyond the boundary, reject such request with EOVERFLOW. This is definitely going to cause problems like transaction abort, but we have no better ways. - Runtime extent buffer early warning If an extent buffer beyond 5/8th of the max file size is allocated, do an early warning. Above error/warning message will only be printed once for each fs to reduce dmesg flood. If the mount is rejected, the filesystem will be mountable only on a 64bit host.

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.
