Subject: [PATCH v2] design: fix computation of buffer log item bitmap size
Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2022 17:58:16 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220104015816.GD31583@magnolia> (raw)

From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>

Wengang Wang was trying to work through a buffer log item by consulting
the ondisk format documentation, and was confused by the formula given
in section 14.3.14 regarding the size of blf_data_map, aka the dirty
bitmap for buffer log items.  We noticed that the documentation doesn't
match what the kernel actually does, so let's fix this.

 This variable-sized array acts as a dirty bitmap for the logged buffer.  Each
 1 bit represents a dirty region in the buffer, and each run of 1 bits
