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.

The code responsible for reading and initializing tree roots is scattered in open_ctree among 2 labels, emulating a loop. This is rather confusing to reason about. Instead, factor the code to a new function, init_tree_roots which implements the same logical flow. There are a couple of notable differences, namely: * Instead of using next_backup_root it's using the newly introduced read_backup_root. * If read_backup_root returns an error init_tree_roots propagates the error and there is no special handling of that case e.g. the code jumps straight to 'fail_tree_roots' label. The old code, however, was (erroneously) jumping to 'fail_block_groups' label if next_backup_root did fail, this was unnecessary since the tree roots init logic doesn't modify the state of block groups.
