Nick Piggin 7cf9c2c76c [PATCH] radix-tree: RCU lockless readside
Make radix tree lookups safe to be performed without locks.  Readers are
protected against nodes being deleted by using RCU based freeing.  Readers
are protected against new node insertion by using memory barriers to ensure
the node itself will be properly written before it is visible in the radix
tree.

Each radix tree node keeps a record of their height (above leaf nodes).
This height does not change after insertion -- when the radix tree is
extended, higher nodes are only inserted in the top.  So a lookup can take
the pointer to what is *now* the root node, and traverse down it even if
the tree is concurrently extended and this node becomes a subtree of a new
root.

"Direct" pointers (tree height of 0, where root->rnode points directly to
the data item) are handled by using the low bit of the pointer to signal
whether rnode is a direct pointer or a pointer to a radix tree node.

When a reader wants to traverse the next branch, they will take a copy of
the pointer.  This pointer will be either NULL (and the branch is empty) or
non-NULL (and will point to a valid node).

/**
* Radix-tree synchronization
*
* The radix-tree API requires that users provide all synchronisation (with
* specific exceptions, noted below).
*
* Synchronization of access to the data items being stored in the tree, and
* management of their lifetimes must be completely managed by API users.
*
* For API usage, in general,
* - any function _modifying_ the the tree or tags (inserting or deleting
* items, setting or clearing tags must exclude other modifications, and
* exclude any functions reading the tree.
* - any function _reading_ the the tree or tags (looking up items or tags,
* gang lookups) must exclude modifications to the tree, but may occur
* concurrently with other readers.
*
* The notable exceptions to this rule are the following functions:
* radix_tree_lookup
* radix_tree_tag_get
* radix_tree_gang_lookup
* radix_tree_gang_lookup_tag
* radix_tree_tagged
*
* The first 4 functions are able to be called locklessly, using RCU. The
* caller must ensure calls to these functions are made within rcu_read_lock()
* regions. Other readers (lock-free or otherwise) and modifications may be
* running concurrently.
*
* It is still required that the caller manage the synchronization and lifetimes
* of the items. So if RCU lock-free lookups are used, typically this would mean
* that the items have their own locks, or are amenable to lock-free access; and
* that the items are freed by RCU (or only freed after having been deleted from
* the radix tree *and* a synchronize_rcu() grace period).
*
* (Note, rcu_assign_pointer and rcu_dereference are not needed to control
* access to data items when inserting into or looking up from the radix tree)
*
* radix_tree_tagged is able to be called without locking or RCU.
