We are using the logical address ("bytenr") of an extent as the key for
qgroup records in the dirty extents xarray. This is a problem because the
xarrays use "unsigned long" for keys/indices, meaning that on a 32 bits
platform any extent starting at or beyond 4G is truncated, which is a too
low limitation as virtually everyone is using storage with more than 4G of
space. This means a "bytenr" of 4G gets truncated to 0, and so does 8G and
16G for example, resulting in incorrect qgroup accounting.
Fix this by using sector numbers as keys instead, that is, using keys that
match the logical address right shifted by fs_info->sectorsize_bits, which
is what we do for the fs_info->buffer_radix that tracks extent buffers
(radix trees also use an "unsigned long" type for keys). This also makes
the index space more dense which helps optimize the xarray (as mentioned
at Documentation/core-api/xarray.rst).

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 reStructuredText 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.
