e2bdb933ab radix_tree: take radix_tree_path off stack
Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have
shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_
swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache().

You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call
radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array on
its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending, in case
it needs to ascend to update them).  And if any tag is still set [1],
that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further such
192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack.  (At least we have
interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.)

That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array of
half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have bloated
it unnecessarily.  But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each
radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when
freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating the
tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a lock
must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly.

So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the
rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path.  There would be
space in that union to save the offset when descending as before (we can
argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users), but
recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and a
constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that.

Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending,
adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set
tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node
again.

perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2%
slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster.
Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3,
but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster.

[1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be
set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem is
well-behaved.  But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down to
this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is set
and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens to
use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage, and
that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a
filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.

3fa36acbce radix_tree: clean away saw_unset_tag leftovers
radix_tree_tag_get()'s BUG (when it sees a tag after saw_unset_tag) was
unsafe and removed in 2.6.34, but the pointless saw_unset_tag left behind.

Remove it now, and return 0 as soon as we see unset tag - we already rely
upon the root tag to be correct, returning 0 immediately if it's not set.

e504f3fdd6 tmpfs radix_tree: locate_item to speed up swapoff
We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than
it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower
there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster.

But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my
laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down
my testing.

Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and
PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and
more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly.

I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap
entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time,
but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive.

The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is
to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing
entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the
target entry.  Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only
twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on).

So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off,
single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place.  #ifdef it on
CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited
applicability as save space in other configurations.  And, sadly,
#include sched.h for cond_resched().

6328650bb4 radix_tree: exceptional entries and indices
A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its
peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same
radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and
simplifying its code and locking.

This patch:

The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes.  A
major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for
memory management.  But what if mm wanted to store something other than
page pointers there too?

The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect
pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry()
case.

Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline
functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely
case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second
case.

If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it
does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the
convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree.

The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller
can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g.  by the page->index of
a struct page.  But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to
be stored there.

radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument,
output array in which to return those offsets.  The same could be added
to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one
for which we need it.

I think this root cause is the following:

 radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always tags the root tag with settag
 if the root tag is set with iftag even if there are no iftag tags
 in the specified range (Of course, there are some iftag tags
 outside the specified range).

===============================================================================
[[[Detailed description]]]

(1) Why cannot radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() return forever?

__lookup_tag():
 - Return with 0.
 - Return with the index which is not bigger than the old one as the
   input parameter.

Therefore the following "while" repeats forever because the above
conditions cause "ret" not to be updated and the cur_index cannot be
changed into the bigger one.

(So, radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot() cannot return forever.)

radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag_slot():
1178         while (ret < max_items) {
1179                 unsigned int slots_found;
1180                 unsigned long next_index;       /* Index of next search */
1181
1182                 if (cur_index > max_index)
1183                         break;
1184                 slots_found = __lookup_tag(node, results + ret,
1185                                 cur_index, max_items - ret, &next_index,
tag);
1186                 ret += slots_found;
			// cannot update ret because slots_found == 0.
			// so, this while loops forever.
1187                 if (next_index == 0)
1188                         break;
1189                 cur_index = next_index;
1190         }

(2) Why does __lookup_tag() return with 0 and doesn't update the index?

Assuming the following:
  - the one of the slot in radix_tree_node is NULL.
  - the one of the tag which corresponds to the slot sets with
    PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE or other.
  - In a certain height(!=0), the corresponding index is 0.

a) __lookup_tag() notices that the tag is set.

1005 static unsigned int
1006 __lookup_tag(struct radix_tree_node *slot, void ***results, unsigned long index,
1007         unsigned int max_items, unsigned long *next_index, unsigned int tag)
1008 {
1009         unsigned int nr_found = 0;
1010         unsigned int shift, height;
1011
1012         height = slot->height;
1013         if (height == 0)
1014                 goto out;
1015         shift = (height-1) * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
1016
1017         while (height > 0) {
1018                 unsigned long i = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK ;
1019
1020                 for (;;) {
1021                         if (tag_get(slot, tag, i))
1022                                 break;
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* the index is not updated yet.

b) __lookup_tag() notices that the slot is NULL.

1023                         index &= ~((1UL << shift) - 1);
1024                         index += 1UL << shift;
1025                         if (index == 0)
1026                                 goto out;       /* 32-bit wraparound */
1027                         i++;
1028                         if (i == RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE)
1029                                 goto out;
1030                 }
1031                 height--;
1032                 if (height == 0) {      /* Bottom level: grab some items */
...
1055                 }
1056                 shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
1057                 slot = rcu_dereference_raw(slot->slots[i]);
1058                 if (slot == NULL)
1059                         break;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

c) __lookup_tag() doesn't update the index and return with 0.

1060         }
1061 out:
1062         *next_index = index;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1063         return nr_found;
1064 }

(3) Why is the slot NULL even if the tag is set?

Because radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() always sets the root tag with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE if the root tag is set with PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY,
even if there is no tag which can be set with PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE
in the specified range (from *first_indexp to last_index). Of course,
some PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY nodes must exist outside the specified range.
(radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() is called only from tag_pages_for_writeback())

 640 unsigned long radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged(struct radix_tree_root
*root,
 641                 unsigned long *first_indexp, unsigned long last_index,
 642                 unsigned long nr_to_tag,
 643                 unsigned int iftag, unsigned int settag)
 644 {
 645         unsigned int height = root->height;
 646         struct radix_tree_path path[height];
 647         struct radix_tree_path *pathp = path;
 648         struct radix_tree_node *slot;
 649         unsigned int shift;
 650         unsigned long tagged = 0;
 651         unsigned long index = *first_indexp;
 652
 653         last_index = min(last_index, radix_tree_maxindex(height));
 654         if (index > last_index)
 655                 return 0;
 656         if (!nr_to_tag)
 657                 return 0;
 658         if (!root_tag_get(root, iftag)) {
 659                 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
 660                 return 0;
 661         }
 662         if (height == 0) {
 663                 *first_indexp = last_index + 1;
 664                 root_tag_set(root, settag);
 665                 return 1;
 666         }
...
 733         root_tag_set(root, settag);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 734         *first_indexp = index;
 735
 736         return tagged;
 737 }

As the result, there is no radix_tree_node which is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE but the root tag(radix_tree_root) is set with
PAGECACHE_TAG_TOWRITE.

27d20fddc8 radix-tree: fix RCU bug
Salman Qazi describes the following radix-tree bug:

In the following case, we get can get a deadlock:

0.  The radix tree contains two items, one has the index 0.
1.  The reader (in this case find_get_pages) takes the rcu_read_lock.
2.  The reader acquires slot(s) for item(s) including the index 0 item.
3.  The non-zero index item is deleted, and as a consequence the other item is
    moved to the root of the tree. The place where it used to be is queued for
    deletion after the readers finish.
3b. The zero item is deleted, removing it from the direct slot, it remains in
    the rcu-delayed indirect node.
4.  The reader looks at the index 0 slot, and finds that the page has 0 ref
    count
5.  The reader looks at it again, hoping that the item will either be freed or
    the ref count will increase. This never happens, as the slot it is looking
    at will never be updated. Also, this slot can never be reclaimed because
    the reader is holding rcu_read_lock and is in an infinite loop.

The fix is to re-use the same "indirect" pointer case that requires a slot
lookup retry into a general "retry the lookup" bit.

144dcfc012 radix-tree: radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged() can set incorrect tags
Commit ebf8aa44be ("radix-tree:
omplement function radix_tree_range_tag_if_tagged") does not safely
set tags on on intermediate tree nodes. The code walks down the tree
setting tags before it has fully resolved the path to the leaf under
the assumption there will be a leaf slot with the tag set in the
range it is searching.

Unfortunately, this is not a valid assumption - we can abort after
setting a tag on an intermediate node if we overrun the number of
tags we are allowed to set in a batch, or stop scanning because we
we have passed the last scan index before we reach a leaf slot with
the tag we are searching for set.

As a result, we can leave the function with tags set on intemediate
nodes which can be tripped over later by tag-based lookups. The
result of these stale tags is that lookup may end prematurely or
livelock because the lookup cannot make progress.

The fix for the problem involves reocrding the traversal path we
take to the leaf nodes, and only propagating the tags back up the
tree once the tag is set in the leaf node slot. We are already
recording the path for efficient traversal, so there is no
additional overhead to do the intermediately node tag setting in
this manner.

This fixes a radix tree lookup livelock triggered by the new
writeback sync livelock avoidance code introduced in commit
f446daaea9 ("mm: implement writeback
livelock avoidance using page tagging").

b6dd08652e radix-tree: clear all tags in radix_tree_node_rcu_free
Commit f446daaea9 ("mm: implement
writeback livelock avoidance using page tagging") introduced a new
radix tree tag, increasing the number of tags in each node from 2 to
3. It did not, however, fix up the code in
radix_tree_node_rcu_free() that cleans up after radix_tree_shrink()
and hence could leave stray tags set in the new tag array.

The result is that the livelock avoidance code added in the the
above commit would hit stale tags when doing tag based lookups,
resulting in livelocks when trying to traverse the tree.

Fix this problem in radix_tree_node_rcu_free() so it doesn't happen
again in the future by using a loop to walk all the tags up to
RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS to clear the stray tags radix_tree_shrink()
leaves behind.

ce82653d6c radix_tree_tag_get() is not as safe as the docs make out [ver #2]
radix_tree_tag_get() is not safe to use concurrently with radix_tree_tag_set()
or radix_tree_tag_clear().  The problem is that the double tag_get() in
radix_tree_tag_get():

		if (!tag_get(node, tag, offset))
			saw_unset_tag = 1;
		if (height == 1) {
			int ret = tag_get(node, tag, offset);

may see the value change due to the action of set/clear.  RCU is no protection
against this as no pointers are being changed, no nodes are being replaced
according to a COW protocol - set/clear alter the node directly.

The documentation in linux/radix-tree.h, however, says that
radix_tree_tag_get() is an exception to the rule that "any function modifying
the tree or tags (...) must exclude other modifications, and exclude any
functions reading the tree".

The problem is that the next statement in radix_tree_tag_get() checks that the
tag doesn't vary over time:

			BUG_ON(ret && saw_unset_tag);

This has been seen happening in FS-Cache:

	https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2010-April/msg00013.html

To this end, remove the BUG_ON() from radix_tree_tag_get() and note in various
comments that the value of the tag may change whilst the RCU read lock is held,
and thus that the return value of radix_tree_tag_get() may not be relied upon
unless radix_tree_tag_set/clear() and radix_tree_delete() are excluded from
running concurrently with it.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

b34df792b4 FS-Cache: Use radix tree preload correctly in tracking of pages to be stored
__fscache_write_page() attempts to load the radix tree preallocation pool for
the CPU it is on before calling radix_tree_insert(), as the insertion must be
done inside a pair of spinlocks.

Use of the preallocation pool, however, is contingent on the radix tree being
initialised without __GFP_WAIT specified.  __fscache_acquire_cookie() was
passing GFP_NOFS to INIT_RADIX_TREE() - but that includes __GFP_WAIT.

The solution is to AND out __GFP_WAIT.

Additionally, the banner comment to radix_tree_preload() is altered to make
note of this prerequisite.  Possibly there should be a WARN_ON() too.

Without this fix, I have seen the following recursive deadlock caused by
radix_tree_insert() attempting to allocate memory inside the spinlocked
region, which resulted in FS-Cache being called back into to release memory -
which required the spinlock already held.

643b52b9c0 radix-tree: fix small lockless radix-tree bug
We shrink a radix tree when its root node has only one child, in the left
most slot.  The child becomes the new root node.  To perform this
operation in a manner compatible with concurrent lockless lookups, we
atomically switch the root pointer from the parent to its child.

However a concurrent lockless lookup may now have loaded a pointer to the
parent (and is presently deciding what to do next).  For this reason, we
also have to keep the parent node in a valid state after shrinking the
tree, until the next RCU grace period -- otherwise this lookup with the
parent pointer may not do the right thing.  Notably, we need to keep the
child in the left most slot there in case that is requested by the lookup.

This is all pretty standard RCU stuff.  It is worth repeating because in
my eagerness to obey the radix tree node constructor scheme, I had broken
it by zeroing the radix tree node before the grace period.

What could happen is that a lookup can load the parent pointer, then
decide it wants to follow the left most child slot, only to find the slot
contained NULL due to the concurrent shrinker having zeroed the parent
node before waiting for a grace period.  The lookup would return a false
negative as a result.

Fix it by doing that clearing in the RCU callback.  I would normally want
to rip out the constructor entirely, but radix tree nodes are one of those
places where they make sense (only few cachelines will be touched soon
after allocation).

This was never actually found in any lockless pagecache testing or by the
test harness, but by seeing the odd problem with my scalable vmap rewrite.
 I have not tickled the test harness into reproducing it yet, but I'll
keep working at it.

Fortunately, it is not a problem anywhere lockless pagecache is used in
mainline kernels (pagecache probe is not a guarantee, and brd does not
have concurrent lookups and deletes).

488514d179 Remove set_migrateflags()
Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag
logic was reviewed.  Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the
unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was
active when a new slab page was allocated.

This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it.

The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set.  The set_migrateflags() never had any
effect there.

Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated
with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation.  We now set
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix
tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section.  Radix tree
slabs will also be accounted as such.

There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

e2848a0efe radix-tree: avoid atomic allocations for preloaded insertions
Most pagecache (and some other) radix tree insertions have the great
opportunity to preallocate a few nodes with relaxed gfp flags.  But the
preallocation is squandered when it comes time to allocate a node, we
default to first attempting a GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- that doesn't
normally fail, but it can eat into atomic memory reserves that we don't
need to be using.

Another upshot of this is that it removes the sometimes highly contended
zone->lock from underneath tree_lock.  Pagecache insertions are always
performed with a radix tree preload, and after this change, such a
situation will never fall back to kmem_cache_alloc within
radix_tree_node_alloc.

David Miller reports seeing this allocation fail on a highly threaded
sparc64 system:

The calltrace is significant: __do_page_cache_readahead allocates a number
of pages with GFP_KERNEL, and hence it should have reclaimed sufficient
memory to satisfy GFP_ATOMIC allocations.  However after the list of pages
goes to mpage_readpages, there can be significant intervals (including disk
IO) before all the pages are inserted into the radix-tree.  So the reserves
can easily be depleted at that point.  The patch is confirmed to fix the
problem.

430d275a39 avoid negative (and full-width) shifts in radix-tree.c
Negative shifts are not allowed in C (the result is undefined).  Same thing
with full-width shifts.

It works on most platforms but not on the VAX with gcc 4.0.1 (it results in an
"operand reserved" fault).

Shifting by more than the width of the value on the left is also not
allowed.  I think the extra '>> 1' tacked on at the end in the original
code was an attempt to work around that.  Getting rid of that is an extra
feature of this patch.

Here's the chapter and verse, taken from the final draft of the C99
standard ("6.5.7 Bitwise shift operators", paragraph 3):

  "The integer promotions are performed on each of the operands. The
  type of the result is that of the promoted left operand. If the
  value of the right operand is negative or is greater than or equal
  to the width of the promoted left operand, the behavior is
  undefined."

Thank you to Jan-Benedict Glaw, Christoph Hellwig, Maciej Rozycki, Pekka
Enberg, Andreas Schwab, and Christoph Lameter for review.  Special thanks
to Andreas for spotting that my fix only removed half the undefined
behaviour.

e12ba74d8f Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations
This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as
network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations.  When something
like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to
be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation.

This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a
new MIGRATE_TYPE.  The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be
reclaimed on demand, but not moved.  i.e.  they can be migrated by deleting
them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.

26fb1589cb fix the max path calculation in radix-tree.c
A while back, Nick Piggin introduced a patch to reduce the node memory
usage for small files (commit cfd9b7df4a):

-#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT	6
+#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT	(CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6)

Unfortunately, he didn't take into account the fact that the
calculation of the maximum path was based on an assumption of having
to round up:

#define RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH (RADIX_TREE_INDEX_BITS/RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT + 2)

So, if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is set, you will end up with a
RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH that is one greater than necessary.  The practical
upshot of this is just a bit of wasted memory (one long in the
height_to_maxindex array, an extra pre-allocated radix tree node per
cpu, and extra stack usage in a couple of functions), but it seems
worth getting right.

It's also worth noting that I never build with CONFIG_BASE_SMALL.
What I did to test this was duplicate the code in a small user-space
program and check the results of the calculations for max path and the
contents of the height_to_maxindex array.

c0bc9875b7 radix-tree: use indirect bit
Rather than sign direct radix-tree pointers with a special bit, sign the
indirect one that hangs off the root.  This means that, given a lookup_slot
operation, the invalid result will be differentiated from the valid
(previously, valid results could have the bit either set or clear).

This does not affect slot lookups which occur under lock -- they can never
return an invalid result.  Is needed in future for lockless pagecache.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been

special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

7cf9c2c76c [PATCH] radix-tree: RCU lockless readside
Make radix tree lookups safe to be performed without locks.  Readers are
protected against nodes being deleted by using RCU based freeing.  Readers
are protected against new node insertion by using memory barriers to ensure
the node itself will be properly written before it is visible in the radix
tree.

Each radix tree node keeps a record of their height (above leaf nodes).
This height does not change after insertion -- when the radix tree is
extended, higher nodes are only inserted in the top.  So a lookup can take
the pointer to what is *now* the root node, and traverse down it even if
the tree is concurrently extended and this node becomes a subtree of a new
root.

"Direct" pointers (tree height of 0, where root->rnode points directly to
the data item) are handled by using the low bit of the pointer to signal
whether rnode is a direct pointer or a pointer to a radix tree node.

When a reader wants to traverse the next branch, they will take a copy of
the pointer.  This pointer will be either NULL (and the branch is empty) or
non-NULL (and will point to a valid node).

4c91c3648c [PATCH] buglet in radix_tree_tag_set
The comment states: 'Setting a tag on a not-present item is a BUG.' Hence
if 'index' is larger than the maxindex; the item _cannot_ be presen; it
should also be a BUG.

Also, this allows the following statement (assume a fresh tree):

  radix_tree_tag_set(root, 16, 1);

to fail silently, but when preceded by:

  radix_tree_insert(root, 32, item);

it would BUG, because the height has been extended by the insert.

In neither case was 16 present.

cfd9b7df4a [PATCH] radix-tree: small
Reduce radix tree node memory usage by about a factor of 4 for small files
(< 64K).  There are pointer traversal and memory usage costs for large
files with dense pagecache.

612d6c19db [PATCH] radix-tree: direct data
The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item
rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with
old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd.  On 64-bit
machines this causes nearly 600 bytes to be used for every <= 4K file in
pagecache.

Re-introduce this feature, root tags stored in spare ->gfp_mask bits.

Simplify radix_tree_delete's complex tag clearing arrangement (which would
become even more complex) by just falling back to tag clearing functions
(the pagecache radix-tree never uses this path anyway, so the icache
savings will mean it's actually a speedup).

On my 4GB G5, this saves 8MB RAM per kernel kernel source+object tree in
pagecache.

Pagecache lookup, insertion, and removal speed for small files will also be
improved.

This makes RCU radix tree harder, but it's worth it.

daff89f324 [PATCH] radix-tree documentation cleanups
Documentation changes to help radix tree users avoid overrunning the tags
array.  RADIX_TREE_TAGS moves to linux/radix-tree.h and is now known as
RADIX_TREE_MAX_TAGS (Nick Piggin's idea).  Tag parameters are changed to
unsigned, and some comments are updated.

90f9dd8f72 [PATCH] Fix over-zealous tag clearing in radix_tree_delete
If a tag is set for a node being deleted from a radix_tree, then that
tag gets cleared from the parent of the node, even if it is set for some
siblings of the node begin deleted.

This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar
to the logic a little futher down.  Care is taken to ensure that
'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags'
array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the
tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and
possibly above.

[ Nick says: "Linus FYI, I was able to modify the radix tree test
  harness to catch the bug and can no longer trigger it after the fix.
  Resulting code passes all other harness tests as well of course." ]
