Add subsections in an attempt to bring a bit order to this page; also sort most subsections into alphabetical order. With luck all this will help to prevent merge conflicts on this page due to everybody adding entries at the end.

Since 2014 kernel-doc has supported describing object-like macros but it is not documented anywhere. I should have required some documentation for it when I merged the patch. :( There are currently only 3 uses of this (all in DRM headers, in include/drm/*.h). Add object-like macro kernel-doc documentation now so that more may know about it and use it.

It's good to be clear about who the intended target audience for any given piece of documentation is, as this will help us put new text in the correct place. Let's encourage submitters to state it explicitly rather than relying on where they placed it in the directory hierarchy as there isn't necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between them. Target audience: documentation contributors and reviewers.

Reformat lines in kernel-doc comments, which make use of the backslash at the end to suggest it is a multi-line comment. kernel-doc is able to process e.g. the short description of a function properly, even if it is across two lines.

Commit 1db9d06aaa55 ("mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLAB from all Kconfig and Makefile") removes the config SLAB and makes the SLUB allocator the only default allocator in the kernel. Hence, the advice on reducing OS jitter due to kworker kernel threads to build with CONFIG_SLUB instead of CONFIG_SLAB is obsolete. Remove the obsolete advice to build with SLUB instead of SLAB.

bcachefs btree nodes are big - typically 256k - and btree roots are pinned in memory. As we're now up to 18 btrees, we now have significant memory overhead in mostly empty btree roots. And in the future we're going to start enforcing that certain btree node boundaries exist, to solve lock contention issues - analagous to XFS's AGIs. Thus, we need to start allocating smaller btree node buffers when we can. This patch changes code that refers to the filesystem constant c->opts.btree_node_size to refer to the btree node buffer size - btree_buf_bytes() - where appropriate.

There is a comment "why do we need this lock?" about the lock coming from commit 42d23732 ("bcachefs: Snapshot creation, deletion") The reason is that __bch2_ioctl_subvolume_create() calls sync_inodes_sb() which enforce locked s_umount to writeback all dirty nodes before doing snapshot works. Fix it by read locking s_umount for snapshotting only and unlocking s_umount after sync_inodes_sb().
