XArray: Add xa_cmpxchg_irq and xa_cmpxchg_bh

2018-12-06T13:26:17Z

These convenience wrappers match the other _irq and _bh wrappers we already have. It turns out I'd already open-coded xa_cmpxchg_irq() in the shmem code, so convert that. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

XArray: Fix Documentation

XArray: Handle NULL pointers differently for allocation

2018-11-05T21:38:09Z

For allocating XArrays, it makes sense to distinguish beteen erasing an entry and storing NULL. Storing NULL keeps the index allocated with a NULL pointer associated with it while xa_erase() frees the index. Some existing IDR users rely on this ability. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

XArray: Add xa_store_bh() and xa_store_irq()

2018-11-05T21:38:09Z

These convenience wrappers disable interrupts while taking the spinlock. A number of drivers would otherwise have to open-code these functions. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

XArray: Regularise xa_reserve

2018-11-05T21:38:08Z

The xa_reserve() function was a little unusual in that it attempted to be callable for all kinds of locking scenarios. Make it look like the other APIs with __xa_reserve, xa_reserve_bh and xa_reserve_irq variants. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox: "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree, more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to its users. This patch set 1. Introduces the XArray implementation 2. Converts the pagecache to use it 3. Converts memremap to use it The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows us to remove the radix tree code that supported it. I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're interested" * 'xarray' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax: (90 commits) radix tree: Remove multiorder support radix tree test: Convert multiorder tests to XArray radix tree tests: Convert item_delete_rcu to XArray radix tree tests: Convert item_kill_tree to XArray radix tree tests: Move item_insert_order radix tree test suite: Remove multiorder benchmarking radix tree test suite: Remove __item_insert memremap: Convert to XArray xarray: Add range store functionality xarray: Move multiorder_check to in-kernel tests xarray: Move multiorder_shrink to kernel tests xarray: Move multiorder account test in-kernel radix tree test suite: Convert iteration test to XArray radix tree test suite: Convert tag_tagged_items to XArray radix tree: Remove radix_tree_clear_tags radix tree: Remove radix_tree_maybe_preload_order radix tree: Remove split/join code radix tree: Remove radix_tree_update_node_t page cache: Finish XArray conversion dax: Convert page fault handlers to XArray ...

xarray: Add range store functionality

2018-10-21T14:46:46Z

This version of xa_store_range() really only supports load and store. Our only user only needs basic load and store functionality, so there's no need to do the extra work to support marking and overlapping stores correctly yet. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox
