In order to use multi-index entries for huge pages in the page cache, we need to be able to split a multi-index entry (eg if a file is truncated in the middle of a huge page entry). This version does not support splitting more than one level of the tree at a time. This is an acceptable limitation for the page cache as we do not expect to support order-12 pages in the near 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.
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.
