I thought about this some more. One of the principles behind the xarray
rewrite was to make it easier to use than the radix tree. Even this
interface succeeds at that; compare:
- radix_tree_for_each_slot(slot, root, &iter, 0) {
- if (*slot == item) {
- found = iter.index;
+ xas_for_each(&xas, entry, ULONG_MAX) {
+ if (xas_retry(&xas, entry))
+ continue;
+ if (entry == item)
break;
- }
checked++;
- if ((checked % 4096) != 0)
+ if ((checked % XA_CHECK_SCHED) != 0)
continue;
- slot = radix_tree_iter_resume(slot, &iter);
+ xas_pause(&xas);
cond_resched_rcu();
}
But it's not *great*. It doesn't succeed in capturing all the necessary
state in the xa_state so that the user doesn't have to worry about this.
It's subtle and relatively easy to get wrong. And, as you say, why this
magic number?
I came up with this, which does capture everything necessary in the
xa_state -- just one bit which tells the xa_state whether we're in an
iteration with interrupts disabled. If that bit is set, iterations
pause at the end of every second-level group of the tree. That's every
4096 _indices_ (as opposed to every 4096 _processed entries_), but those
should be close to each other in dense trees.
I don't love the name of the function (xas_long_iter_irq()), but I'm
expecting somebody else will have a better name. I did notice that
shmem_tag_pins() was only called from shmem_wait_for_pins(), so it
doesn't need its own XA_STATE; we can just pass in the xa_state pointer.
I rather like the outcome in the callers; the loops are reduced to doing
the thing that the loops are supposed to do instead of having this silly
tail on them that handles bookkeeping.
