Syzbot managed to come up with a filesystem where check/repair got rather confused at finding a reflink pointer in the inodes btree. Currently, the "key allowed in this btree" checks only apply at commit time, not read time - for forwards compatibility. It seems this is too loose. Now, strict key type allowed checks apply: - at commit time (no forward compatibility issues) - for btree node pointers - if it's a known btree, known key type, and the key type has the "BKEY_TYPE_strict_btree_checks" flag. This means we still have the option of using generic key types - e.g. KEY_TYPE_error, KEY_TYPE_set - on more existing btrees in the future, while most key types that are intended for only a specific btree get stricter checks.

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.
