This patch introduces another concept used by the unzip subsystem called 'workstation'. It can be seen as a sparse array that stores pointers pointed to data structures related to the corresponding physical blocks. All lookup cases are protected by RCU read lock. Besides, reference count and spin_lock are also introduced to manage its lifetime and serialize all update operations. 'workstation' is currently implemented on the in-kernel radix tree approach for backward compatibility. With the evolution of linux kernel, it could be migrated into XArray implementation in the future.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
