The maple tree node is overloaded to keep status as well as the active node. This, unfortunately, results in a re-walk on underflow or overflow. Since the maple state has room, the status can be placed in its own enum in the structure. Once an underflow/overflow is detected, certain modes can restore the status to active and others may need to re-walk just that one node to see the entry. The status being an enum has the benefit of detecting unhandled status in switch statements.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
