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.

During review of the next patch, Dave remarked that he found these two btree geometry calculation functions lacking in documentation and that they performed more work than was really necessary. These functions take the same parameters and have nearly the same logic; the only real difference is in the return values. Reword the function comment to make it clearer what each function does, and move them to be adjacent to reinforce their relation. Clean up both of them to stop opencoding the howmany functions, stop using the uint typedefs, and make them both support computations for more than 2^32 leaf records, since we're going to need all of the above for files with large data forks and large rmap btrees.
