Johannes Thumshirn d2e174d5d3 btrfs: document extent mapping assumptions in checksum
Document why map_private_extent_buffer() cannot return '1' (i.e. the map
spans two pages) for the csum_tree_block() case.

The current algorithm for detecting a page boundary crossing in
map_private_extent_buffer() will return a '1' *IFF* the extent buffer's
offset in the page + the offset passed in by csum_tree_block() and the
minimal length passed in by csum_tree_block() - 1 are bigger than
PAGE_SIZE.

We always pass BTRFS_CSUM_SIZE (32) as offset and a minimal length of 32
and the current extent buffer allocator always guarantees page aligned
extends, so the above condition can't be true.

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.
