Linus Torvalds dad4f140ed Merge branch 'xarray' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax
Pull XArray conversion from Matthew Wilcox:
 "The XArray provides an improved interface to the radix tree data
  structure, providing locking as part of the API, specifying GFP flags
  at allocation time, eliminating preloading, less re-walking the tree,
  more efficient iterations and not exposing RCU-protected pointers to
  its users.

  This patch set

   1. Introduces the XArray implementation

   2. Converts the pagecache to use it

   3. Converts memremap to use it

  The page cache is the most complex and important user of the radix
  tree, so converting it was most important. Converting the memremap
  code removes the only other user of the multiorder code, which allows
  us to remove the radix tree code that supported it.

  I have 40+ followup patches to convert many other users of the radix
  tree over to the XArray, but I'd like to get this part in first. The
  other conversions haven't been in linux-next and aren't suitable for
  applying yet, but you can see them in the xarray-conv branch if you're
  interested"
