While block hints were always accurate, it's possible when spanning across blocks that we miss updating the chunk's contig_hint. Rather than rely on correctness of the boundaries of hints, do a full overlap comparison. A future patch introduces the scan_hint which makes the contig_hint slightly fuzzy as they can at times be smaller than the actual hint. Signed-off-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org>
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.
