This results in no change in structure size on 64-bit machines as it
fits in the padding between the gfp_t and the void *.  32-bit machines
will grow the structure from 8 to 12 bytes.  Almost all radix trees are
protected with (at least) a spinlock, so as they are converted from
radix trees to xarrays, the data structures will shrink again.

Initialising the spinlock requires a name for the benefit of lockdep, so
RADIX_TREE_INIT() now needs to know the name of the radix tree it's
initialising, and so do IDR_INIT() and IDA_INIT().

Also add the xa_lock() and xa_unlock() family of wrappers to make it
easier to use the lock.  If we could rely on -fplan9-extensions in the
compiler, we could avoid all of this syntactic sugar, but that wasn't
added until gcc 4.6.

<title>radix tree: use GFP_ZONEMASK bits of gfp_t for flags</title>

Patch series "XArray", v9.  (First part thereof).

This patchset is, I believe, appropriate for merging for 4.17.  It
contains the XArray implementation, to eventually replace the radix
tree, and converts the page cache to use it.

This conversion keeps the radix tree and XArray data structures in sync
at all times.  That allows us to convert the page cache one function at
a time and should allow for easier bisection.  Other than renaming some
elements of the structures, the data structures are fundamentally
unchanged; a radix tree walk and an XArray walk will touch the same
number of cachelines.  I have changes planned to the XArray data
structure, but those will happen in future patches.

Improvements the XArray has over the radix tree:

 - The radix tree provides operations like other trees do; 'insert' and
   'delete'. But what most users really want is an automatically
   resizing array, and so it makes more sense to give users an API that
   is like an array -- 'load' and 'store'. We still have an 'insert'
   operation for users that really want that semantic.

 - The XArray considers locking as part of its API. This simplifies a
   lot of users who formerly had to manage their own locking just for
   the radix tree. It also improves code generation as we can now tell
   RCU that we're holding a lock and it doesn't need to generate as much
   fencing code. The other advantage is that tree nodes can be moved
   (not yet implemented).

 - GFP flags are now parameters to calls which may need to allocate
   memory. The radix tree forced users to decide what the allocation
   flags would be at creation time. It's much clearer to specify them at
   allocation time.

 - Memory is not preloaded; we don't tie up dozens of pages on the off
   chance that the slab allocator fails. Instead, we drop the lock,
   allocate a new node and retry the operation. We have to convert all
   the radix tree, IDA and IDR preload users before we can realise this
   benefit, but I have not yet found a user which cannot be converted.

 - The XArray provides a cmpxchg operation. The radix tree forces users
   to roll their own (and at least four have).

 - Iterators take a 'max' parameter. That simplifies many users and will
   reduce the amount of iteration done.

 - Iteration can proceed backwards. We only have one user for this, but
   since it's called as part of the pagefault readahead algorithm, that
   seemed worth mentioning.

 - RCU-protected pointers are not exposed as part of the API. There are
   some fun bugs where the page cache forgets to use rcu_dereference()
   in the current codebase.

 - Value entries gain an extra bit compared to radix tree exceptional
   entries. That gives us the extra bit we need to put huge page swap
   entries in the page cache.

 - Some iterators now take a 'filter' argument instead of having
   separate iterators for tagged/untagged iterations.

The page cache is improved by this:

 - Shorter, easier to read code

 - More efficient iterations

 - Reduction in size of struct address_space

 - Fewer walks from the top of the data structure; the XArray API
   encourages staying at the leaf node and conducting operations there.

This patch (of 8):

None of these bits may be used for slab allocations, so we can use them
as radix tree flags as long as we mask them off before passing them to
the slab allocator. Move the IDR flag from the high bits to the
GFP_ZONEMASK bits.

It has no more users, so remove it.  Move idr_alloc() back into idr.c,
move the guts of idr_alloc_cmn() into idr_alloc_u32(), remove the
wrappers around idr_get_free_cmn() and rename it to idr_get_free().
While there is now no interface to allocate IDs larger than a u32,
the IDR internals remain ready to handle a larger ID should a need arise.

These changes make it possible to provide the guarantee that, if the
nextid pointer points into the object, the object's ID will be initialised
before a concurrent lookup can find the object.

This include was added by commit 187f1882b5b0 ("BUG: headers with

Some time later, commit 6d75f366b924 ("lib: radix-tree: check accounting
of existing slot replacement users") removed the use of BUG_ON() from
this header.

Since then, there is no reason to include &lt;linux/bug.h&gt;.

<title>mm, truncate: do not check mapping for every page being truncated</title>

During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and
dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required.

This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated.
In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if
workingset_update_node() needs to be called.  The one danger is that the
API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly
without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises.
However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is
enough to give people the hint.

As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected.  The
differences in bonnie are all within the noise which is not surprising
given the impact on the microbenchmark.

radix_tree_update_node_t is a callback for some radix operations that
optionally passes in a private field.  The only user of the callback is
workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.

As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected.  The
differences in bonnie are all within the noise which is not surprising
given the impact on the microbenchmark.

radix_tree_update_node_t is a callback for some radix operations that
optionally passes in a private field.  The only user of the callback is
workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.

Many places were missing __rcu annotations.  A few places needed a few
lines of explanation about why it was safe to not use RCU accessors.
Add a custom CFLAGS setting to the Makefile to ensure that new patches
don't miss RCU annotations.

Some of these have been missing for many years.  Others were recently
introduced by me.  Fortunately, we have tools that help us find such
things.

<title>radix-tree: Store a pointer to the root in each node</title>

Instead of having this mysterious private_data in each radix_tree_node,
store a pointer to the root, which can be useful for debugging.  This also
relieves the mm code from the duty of updating it.

<title>Reimplement IDR and IDA using the radix tree</title>

<id>0a835c4f090af2c76fc2932c539c3b32fd21fbbb</id>
<content type='text'>
The IDR is very similar to the radix tree.  It has some functionality that
the radix tree did not have (alloc next free, cyclic allocation, a
callback-based for_each, destroy tree), which is readily implementable on
top of the radix tree.  A few small changes were needed in order to use a
tag to represent nodes with free space below them.  More extensive
changes were needed to support storing NULL as a valid entry in an IDR.
Plain radix trees still interpret NULL as a not-present entry.

The IDA is reimplemented as a client of the newly enhanced radix tree.  As
in the current implementation, it uses a bitmap at the last level of the
tree.
