The core components contained within the radix-tree tests which provide
shims for kernel headers and access to the maple tree are useful for
testing other things, so separate them out and make the radix tree tests
dependent on the shared components.
This lays the groundwork for us to add VMA tests of the newly introduced
vma.c file.

Along the development cycle, the testing code support for module/in-kernel
compiles was removed. Restore this functionality by moving any internal
API tests to the userspace side, as well as threading tests. Fix the
lockdep issues and add a way to reduce memory usage so the tests can
complete with KASAN + memleak detection. Make the tests work on 32 bit
hosts where possible and detect 32 bit hosts in the radix test suite.

Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree"
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel
that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially
one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data
structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track
non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you.
The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf
nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter
than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked
list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need
to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations.
The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct,
where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented
rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The
long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention.
The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode.
Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be
allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs
would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.

: Yes I like the maple tree, and at this stage I don't think we can ask for

: complex) by consolidating the three complimentary data structures very
: much worth it considering performance does not take a hit. This was very

A similar work has been discovered in the academic press

Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the
hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough
outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find
that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the
right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable
for us.
This patch (of 70):
The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern
processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel

would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks
are using the mm_struct.
There is additional BUG_ON() calls added within the tree, most of which
are in debug code. These will be replaced with a WARN_ON() call in the
future. There is also additional BUG_ON() calls within the code which
will also be reduced in number at a later date. These exist to catch
things such as out-of-range accesses which would crash anyways.

The xa_load function brings with it a lot of infrastructure; xa_empty(),
xa_is_err(), and large chunks of the XArray advanced API that are used
to implement xa_load.
As the test-suite demonstrates, it is possible to use the XArray functions
on a radix tree. The radix tree functions depend on the GFP flags being
stored in the root of the tree, so it's not possible to use the radix
tree functions on an XArray.

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.

This code is mostly from Andrew Morton and Nick Piggin; tarball downloaded
from http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/rtth.tar.gz with sha1sum

Some small modifications were necessary to the test harness to fix the
build with the current Linux source code.
I also made minor modifications to automatically test the radix-tree.c
and radix-tree.h files that are in the current source tree, as opposed
to a copied and slightly modified version. I am sure more could be done
to tidy up the harness, as well as adding more tests.
