Until accounting keys hit the btree, they are deltas, not new versions of the existing key; this means we have to teach journal replay to accumulate them. Additionally, the journal doesn't track precisely which entries have been flushed to the btree; it only tracks a range of entries that may possibly still need to be flushed. That means we need to compare accounting keys against the version in the btree and only flush updates that are newer. There's another wrinkle with the write buffer: if the write buffer starts flushing accounting keys before journal replay has finished flushing accounting keys, journal replay will see the version number from the new updates and updates from the journal will be lost. To avoid this, journal replay has to flush accounting keys first, and we'll be adding a flag so that write buffer flush knows to hold accounting keys until then.

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 reStructuredText 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.
