This series reduces duplication between __xa_cmpxchg and __xa_insert by extracting a new function that does not coerce zero entries to null on the return path. The new function may be used by the upcoming Rust xarray abstraction in its reservation API where it is useful to tell the difference between zero entries and null slots.
