If a ptr gen doesn't match the bucket gen, the bucket likely doesn't contain the data we want - but it's still possible the data we want might have been overwritten, and for btree node pointers we can verify whether or not the node is the one we wanted with the node's sequence number, so it's better to keep the pointer and try reading from it.

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.
