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.

Jens reported a compiler error when using CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
that looks like this
In function ‘gather_device_info’,
inlined from ‘btrfs_create_chunk’ at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:5507:8:
fs/btrfs/volumes.c:5245:48: warning: ‘dev_offset’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
5245 | devices_info[ndevs].dev_offset = dev_offset;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~
fs/btrfs/volumes.c: In function ‘btrfs_create_chunk’:
fs/btrfs/volumes.c:5196:13: note: ‘dev_offset’ was declared here
5196 | u64 dev_offset;
This occurs because find_free_dev_extent is responsible for setting
dev_offset, however if we get an -ENOMEM at the top of the function
we'll return without setting the value.
This isn't actually a problem because we will see the -ENOMEM in
gather_device_info() and return and not use the uninitialized value,
however we also just don't want the compiler warning so rework the code
slightly in find_free_dev_extent() to make sure it's always setting
*start and *len to avoid the compiler warning.
