This same restart logic is used in all the functions in this family:
find_get_entry() (though the tag is "repeat"), find_get_entries(),
find_get_pages(), find_get_pages_contig() and find_get_pages_tag().
Most don't have it well commented, but there is a good comment in
find_get_pages():
if (radix_tree_exception(page)) {
if (radix_tree_deref_retry(page)) {
/*
* Transient condition which can only trigger
* when entry at index 0 moves out of or back
* to root: none yet gotten, safe to restart.
*/
WARN_ON(iter.index);
goto restart;
}
I think the logic is correct, but I'm happy to add this comment in
find_get_entries_tag() if it would make things clearer.
