mainlining shenanigans
It's a common practice to start a search using offset (u64)-1, which is the u64 maximum value, meaning that we want the search_slot function to be set in the last item with the same objectid and type. Once we are in this position, it's a matter to start a search backwards by calling btrfs_previous_item, which will check if we'll need to go to a previous leaf and other necessary checks, only to be sure that we are in last offset of the same object and type. The new btrfs_search_backwards function does the all these steps when necessary, and can be used to avoid code duplication.

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.
