The large bucket feature is to extend bucket_size from 16bit to 32bit. When create cache device on zoned device (e.g. zoned NVMe SSD), making a single bucket cover one or more zones of the zoned device is the simplest way to support zoned device as cache by bcache. But current maximum bucket size is 16MB and a typical zone size of zoned device is 256MB, this is the major motiviation to extend bucket size to a larger bit width. This patch is the basic and first change to support large bucket size, the major changes it makes are, - Add BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_LARGE_BUCKET for the large bucket feature, INCOMPAT means it introduces incompatible on-disk format change. - Add BCH_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_FUNCS(large_bucket, LARGE_BUCKET) routines. - Adds __le16 bucket_size_hi into struct cache_sb_disk at offset 0x8d0 for the on-disk super block format. - For the in-memory super block struct cache_sb, member bucket_size is extended from __u16 to __32. - Add get_bucket_size() to combine the bucket_size and bucket_size_hi from struct cache_sb_disk into an unsigned int value. Since we already have large bucket size helpers meta_bucket_pages(), meta_bucket_bytes() and alloc_meta_bucket_pages(), they make sure when bucket size > 8MB, the memory allocation for bcache meta data bucket won't fail no matter how large the bucket size extended. So these meta data buckets are handled properly when the bucket size width increase from 16bit to 32bit, we don't need to worry about them.

README
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.
