Patch series "maple_tree: iterator state changes". These patches have some general cleanup and a change to separate the maple state status tracking from the maple state node. The maple state status change allows for walks to continue from previous places when the status needs to be recorded to make logical sense for the next call to the maple state. For instance, it allows for prev/next to function in a way that better resembles the linked list. It also allows switch statements to be used to detect missed states during compile, and the addition of fast-path "active" state is cleaner as an enum. While making the status change, perf showed some very small (one line) functions that were not inlined even with the inline key word. Making these small functions __always_inline is less expensive according to perf. As part of that change, some inlines have been dropped from larger functions. Perf also showed that the commonly used mas_for_each() iterator was spending a lot of time finding the end of the node. This series introduces caching of the end of the node in the maple state (and updating it during writes). This caching along with the inline changes yielded at 23.25% improvement on the BENCH_MAS_FOR_EACH maple tree test framework benchmark. I've also included a change to mtree_range_walk and mtree_lookup_walk to take advantage of Peng's change [1] to the initial pivot setup. mmtests did not produce any significant gains.

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.
