Matthew Wilcox 148deab223 radix-tree: improve multiorder iterators
This fixes several interlinked problems with the iterators in the
presence of multiorder entries.

1. radix_tree_iter_next() would only advance by one slot, which would
   result in the iterators returning the same entry more than once if
   there were sibling entries.

2. radix_tree_next_slot() could return an internal pointer instead of
   a user pointer if a tagged multiorder entry was immediately followed by
   an entry of lower order.

3. radix_tree_next_slot() expanded to a lot more code than it used to
   when multiorder support was compiled in.  And I wasn't comfortable with
   entry_to_node() being in a header file.

Fixing radix_tree_iter_next() for the presence of sibling entries
necessarily involves examining the contents of the radix tree, so we now
need to pass 'slot' to radix_tree_iter_next(), and we need to change the
calling convention so it is called *before* dropping the lock which
protects the tree.  Also rename it to radix_tree_iter_resume(), as some
people thought it was necessary to call radix_tree_iter_next() each time
around the loop.

radix_tree_next_slot() becomes closer to how it looked before multiorder
support was introduced.  It only checks to see if the next entry in the
chunk is a sibling entry or a pointer to a node; this should be rare
enough that handling this case out of line is not a performance impact
(and such impact is amortised by the fact that the entry we just
processed was a multiorder entry).  Also, radix_tree_next_slot() used to
force a new chunk lookup for untagged entries, which is more expensive
than the out of line sibling entry skipping.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
