Currently, there is no way for the free space cache to recover from being serviced by purely bitmaps because the extent threshold is set to 0 in recalculate_thresholds() when we surpass the metadata allowance. This adds a recovery mechanism by keeping large extents out of the bitmaps and increases the metadata upper bound to 64KB. The recovery mechanism bypasses this upper bound, thus making it a soft upper bound. But, with the bypass being 1MB or greater, it shouldn't add unbounded overhead.

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.
