Hi Linus, Please consider pulling the XArray patch set. 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. In preparing this pull request, I realised I messed up and pushed a rebase from two days ago to infradead. There's no substantial change from the version I pushed out to infradead for linux-next testing on September 29th (mostly test suite and documentation cleanups). The following changes since commit 291d0e5d81e101392379217b06251fe8c27f1f80: Merge tag 'for-linus-20180929' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block (2018-09-29 14:52:14 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax.git xarray for you to fetch changes up to 3a08cd52c37c793ffc199f6fc2ecfc368e284b2d: radix tree: Remove multiorder support (2018-10-21 10:46:48 -0400) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Wilcox (90): Update email address idr: Permit any valid kernel pointer to be stored xarray: Replace exceptional entries xarray: Change definition of sibling entries xarray: Add definition of struct xarray xarray: Define struct xa_node xarray: Add documentation xarray: Add XArray load operation xarray: Add XArray marks xarray: Add XArray unconditional store operations xarray: Add XArray conditional store operations xarray: Add XArray iterators xarray: Extract entries from an XArray xarray: Destroy an XArray xarray: Step through an XArray xarray: Add xas_for_each_conflict xarray: Add xas_create_range xarray: Add xa_reserve and xa_release xarray: Add MAINTAINERS entry xarray: Track free entries in an XArray ida: Convert to XArray page cache: Rearrange address_space page cache: Convert hole search to XArray page cache: Add and replace pages using the XArray page cache: Convert page deletion to XArray page cache: Convert find_get_entry to XArray page cache: Convert find_get_entries to XArray page cache: Convert find_get_pages_range to XArray page cache: Convert find_get_pages_contig to XArray page cache; Convert find_get_pages_range_tag to XArray page cache: Convert find_get_entries_tag to XArray page cache: Convert filemap_map_pages to XArray radix tree test suite: Convert regression1 to XArray page cache: Convert delete_batch to XArray page cache: Remove stray radix comment page cache: Convert filemap_range_has_page to XArray mm: Convert page-writeback to XArray mm: Convert workingset to XArray mm: Convert truncate to XArray mm: Convert add_to_swap_cache to XArray mm: Convert delete_from_swap_cache to XArray mm: Convert __do_page_cache_readahead to XArray mm: Convert page migration to XArray mm: Convert huge_memory to XArray mm: Convert collapse_shmem to XArray mm: Convert khugepaged_scan_shmem to XArray mm: Convert is_page_cache_freeable to XArray pagevec: Use xa_mark_t shmem: Convert shmem_radix_tree_replace to XArray shmem: Convert shmem_confirm_swap to XArray shmem: Convert find_swap_entry to XArray shmem: Convert shmem_add_to_page_cache to XArray shmem: Convert shmem_alloc_hugepage to XArray shmem: Convert shmem_free_swap to XArray shmem: Convert shmem_partial_swap_usage to XArray memfd: Convert memfd_wait_for_pins to XArray memfd: Convert memfd_tag_pins to XArray shmem: Comment fixups btrfs: Convert page cache to XArray fs: Convert buffer to XArray fs: Convert writeback to XArray nilfs2: Convert to XArray f2fs: Convert to XArray dax: Rename some functions dax: Hash on XArray instead of mapping dax: Convert dax_insert_pfn_mkwrite to XArray dax: Convert dax_layout_busy_page to XArray dax: Convert __dax_invalidate_entry to XArray dax: Convert dax writeback to XArray dax: Convert dax_lock_mapping_entry to XArray dax: Convert page fault handlers to XArray page cache: Finish XArray conversion radix tree: Remove radix_tree_update_node_t radix tree: Remove split/join code radix tree: Remove radix_tree_maybe_preload_order radix tree: Remove radix_tree_clear_tags radix tree test suite: Convert tag_tagged_items to XArray radix tree test suite: Convert iteration test to XArray xarray: Move multiorder account test in-kernel xarray: Move multiorder_shrink to kernel tests xarray: Move multiorder_check to in-kernel tests xarray: Add range store functionality memremap: Convert to XArray radix tree test suite: Remove __item_insert radix tree test suite: Remove multiorder benchmarking radix tree tests: Move item_insert_order radix tree tests: Convert item_kill_tree to XArray radix tree tests: Convert item_delete_rcu to XArray radix tree test: Convert multiorder tests to XArray radix tree: Remove multiorder support .clang-format | 1 -
