Currently, we don't use bucket data type for tracking whether buckets are part of a stripe; parity buckets are BCH_DATA_parity, but data buckets in a stripe are BCH_DATA_user. There's a separate counter, buckets_ec, outside the BCH_DATA_TYPES system for tracking number of buckets on a device that are part of a stripe. The trouble with this approach is that it's too coarse grained, and we need better information on fragmentation for debugging copygc. With this patch, data buckets in a stripe are now tracked as BCH_DATA_stripe buckets. This doesn't yet differentiate between erasure coded and non-erasure coded data in a stripe bucket, nor do we yet track empty data buckets in stripes.

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.
