It's been deprecated since commit b547a88ea5 ("btrfs: start
deprecation of mount option inode_cache") which enumerates the reasons.
A filesystem that uses the feature (mount -o inode_cache) tracks the
inode numbers in bitmaps, that data stay on the filesystem after this
patch. The size is roughly 5MiB for 1M inodes [1], which is considered
small enough to be left there. Removal of the change can be implemented
in btrfs-progs if needed.

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.
