This patch starts treating the bpos.snapshot field like part of the key in the btree code: * bpos_successor() and bpos_predecessor() now include the snapshot field * Keys in btrees that will be using snapshots (extents, inodes, dirents and xattrs) now always have their snapshot field set to U32_MAX The btree iterator code gets a new flag, BTREE_ITER_ALL_SNAPSHOTS, that determines whether we're iterating over keys in all snapshots or not - internally, this controlls whether bkey_(successor|predecessor) increment/decrement the snapshot field, or only the higher bits of the key. We add a new member to struct btree_iter, iter->snapshot: when BTREE_ITER_ALL_SNAPSHOTS is not set, iter->pos.snapshot should always equal iter->snapshot, which will be 0 for btrees that don't use snapshots, and alsways U32_MAX for btrees that will use snapshots (until we enable snapshot creation). This patch also introduces a new metadata version number, and compat code for reading from/writing to older versions - this isn't a forced upgrade (yet).

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.
