Merge tag 'xarray-4.20-rc4' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax
Pull XArray updates from Matthew Wilcox: "We found some bugs in the DAX conversion to XArray (and one bug which predated the XArray conversion). There were a couple of bugs in some of the higher-level functions, which aren't actually being called in today's kernel, but surfaced as a result of converting existing radix tree & IDR users over to the XArray. Some of the other changes to how the higher-level APIs work were also motivated by converting various users; again, they're not in use in today's kernel, so changing them has a low probability of introducing a bug. Dan can still trigger a bug in the DAX code with hot-offline/online, and we're working on tracking that down" * tag 'xarray-4.20-rc4' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax: XArray tests: Add missing locking dax: Avoid losing wakeup in dax_lock_mapping_entry dax: Fix huge page faults dax: Fix dax_unlock_mapping_entry for PMD pages dax: Reinstate RCU protection of inode dax: Make sure the unlocking entry isn't locked dax: Remove optimisation from dax_lock_mapping_entry XArray tests: Correct some 64-bit assumptions XArray: Correct xa_store_range XArray: Fix Documentation XArray: Handle NULL pointers differently for allocation XArray: Unify xa_store and __xa_store XArray: Add xa_store_bh() and xa_store_irq() XArray: Turn xa_erase into an exported function XArray: Unify xa_cmpxchg and __xa_cmpxchg XArray: Regularise xa_reserve nilfs2: Use xa_erase_irq XArray: Export __xa_foo to non-GPL modules XArray: Fix xa_for_each with a single element at 0

|

|

Sometimes you need to ensure that a subsequent call to :c:func:`xa_store`
|
||||
will not need to allocate memory. The :c:func:`xa_reserve` function
|
||||
will store a reserved entry at the indicated index. Users of the normal
|
||||
API will see this entry as containing ``NULL``. If you do not need to
|
||||
use the reserved entry, you can call :c:func:`xa_release` to remove the
|
||||
unused entry. If another user has stored to the entry in the meantime,
|
||||
:c:func:`xa_release` will do nothing; if instead you want the entry to

If all entries in the array are ``NULL``, the :c:func:`xa_empty` function

|

Finally, you can remove all entries from an XArray by calling
|
||||
:c:func:`xa_destroy`. If the XArray entries are pointers, you may wish
|
||||
to free the entries first. You can do this by iterating over all present

entries in the XArray using the :c:func:`xa_for_each` iterator.

Allocating XArrays
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you use :c:func:`DEFINE_XARRAY_ALLOC` to define the XArray, or
|
||||
initialise it by passing ``XA_FLAGS_ALLOC`` to :c:func:`xa_init_flags`,
|
||||
the XArray changes to track whether entries are in use or not.
|
||||
|
||||
You can call :c:func:`xa_alloc` to store the entry at any unused index
|
||||
in the XArray. If you need to modify the array from interrupt context,
|
||||
you can use :c:func:`xa_alloc_bh` or :c:func:`xa_alloc_irq` to disable
|
||||
interrupts while allocating the ID. Unlike :c:func:`xa_store`, allocating
|
||||
a ``NULL`` pointer does not delete an entry. Instead it reserves an
|
||||
entry like :c:func:`xa_reserve` and you can release it using either
|
||||
:c:func:`xa_erase` or :c:func:`xa_release`. To use ID assignment, the
|
||||
XArray must be defined with :c:func:`DEFINE_XARRAY_ALLOC`, or initialised
|
||||
by passing ``XA_FLAGS_ALLOC`` to :c:func:`xa_init_flags`,
|
||||
interrupts while allocating the ID.
|
||||
|
||||
Using :c:func:`xa_store`, :c:func:`xa_cmpxchg` or :c:func:`xa_insert`
|
||||
will mark the entry as being allocated. Unlike a normal XArray, storing
|
||||
``NULL`` will mark the entry as being in use, like :c:func:`xa_reserve`.
|
||||
To free an entry, use :c:func:`xa_erase` (or :c:func:`xa_release` if
|
||||
you only want to free the entry if it's ``NULL``).
|
||||
|
||||
You cannot use ``XA_MARK_0`` with an allocating XArray as this mark
|
||||
is used to track whether an entry is free or not. The other marks are
|
||||
available for your use.
