2018-12-06XArray: Add xa_cmpxchg_irq and xa_cmpxchg_bhMatthew Wilcox
These convenience wrappers match the other _irq and _bh wrappers we already have. It turns out I'd already open-coded xa_cmpxchg_irq() in the shmem code, so convert that. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-11-05XArray: Fix DocumentationMatthew Wilcox
Minor fixes. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-11-05XArray: Handle NULL pointers differently for allocationMatthew Wilcox
For allocating XArrays, it makes sense to distinguish beteen erasing an entry and storing NULL. Storing NULL keeps the index allocated with a NULL pointer associated with it while xa_erase() frees the index. Some existing IDR users rely on this ability.

2018-11-05XArray: Add xa_store_bh() and xa_store_irq()Matthew Wilcox
These convenience wrappers disable interrupts while taking the spinlock. A number of drivers would otherwise have to open-code these functions. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-11-05XArray: Regularise xa_reserveMatthew Wilcox
The xa_reserve() function was a little unusual in that it attempted to be callable for all kinds of locking scenarios. Make it look like the other APIs with __xa_reserve, xa_reserve_bh and xa_reserve_irq variants. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-10-21xarray: Add range store functionalityMatthew Wilcox
This version of xa_store_range() really only supports load and store. Our only user only needs basic load and store functionality, so there's no need to do the extra work to support marking and overlapping stores correctly yet. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-10-21xarray: Track free entries in an XArrayMatthew Wilcox
Add the optional ability to track which entries in an XArray are free and provide xa_alloc() to replace most of the functionality of the IDR. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-10-21xarray: Add xa_reserve and xa_releaseMatthew Wilcox
This function reserves a slot in the XArray for users which need to acquire multiple locks before storing their entry in the tree and so cannot use a plain xa_store(). Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
2018-10-21xarray: Add documentationMatthew Wilcox
This is documentation on how to use the XArray, not details about its internal implementation. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Acked-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>
