The bin search jumps over the extent buffer item keys, comparing directly the bytes if the key is in one page, or storing it in a temporary buffer in case it spans two pages. The mapping start and length are obtained from map_private_extent_buffer, which is heavy weight compared to what we need. We know the key size and can find out the eb page in a simple way. For keys spanning two pages the fallback read_extent_buffer is used. The temporary variables are reduced and moved to the scope of use.

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.
