Currently the child leaves are stored in the shared interval tree and every lookup for a child must be done under the interval tree rwsem. This is further complicated by dropping the rwsem during iteration (ie the odp_lookup(), odp_next() pattern), which requires a very tricky an difficult to understand locking scheme with SRCU. Instead reserve the interval tree for the exclusive use of the mmu notifier related code in umem_odp.c and give each implicit MR a xarray containing all the child MRs. Since the size of each child is 1GB of VA, a 1 level xarray will index 64G of VA, and a 2 level will index 2TB, making xarray a much better data structure choice than an interval tree. The locking properties of xarray will be used in the next patches to rework the implicit ODP locking scheme into something simpler. At this point, the xarray is locked by the implicit MR's umem_mutex, and read can also be locked by the odp_srcu.

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.
