From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In order to support huge pages in the page cache, Kirill has proposed simply creating 512 entries. I think this runs into problems with fsync() tracking dirty bits in the radix tree. Ross inserts a special entry to represent the PMD at the index for the start of the PMD, but this requires probing the tree twice; once for the PTE and once for the PMD. When we add PUD entries, that will become three times. The approach in this patch set is to modify the radix tree to support multi-order entries. Pointers to internal radix tree nodes mostly do not have the 'indirect' bit set. I change that so they always have that bit set; then any pointer without the indirect bit set is a multi-order entry. If the order of the entry is a multiple of the fanout of the tree, then all is well. If not, it is necessary to insert alias nodes into the tree that point to the canonical entry. At this point, I have not added support for entries which are smaller than the last-level fanout of the tree (and I put a BUG_ON in to prevent that usage). Adding support would be a simple matter of one last pointer-chase when we get to the bottom of the tree, but I am not aware of any reason to add support for smaller multi-order entries at this point, so I haven't. Note that no actual users are modified at this point. I think it'd be mostly a matter of deleting code from the DAX fsync support at this point, but with that code in flux, I'm a little reluctant to add more churn to it. I'm also not entriely sure where Kirill is on the page-cache modifications; he seems to have his hands full fixing up the MM right now. Before diving into the important modifications, I add Andrew Morton's radix tree test harness to the tree in patches 1 & 2. It was absolutely invaluable in catching some of my bugs. Patches 3 & 4 are minor tweaks. Patches 5-7 are the interesting ones. Patch 8 we might want to leave out entirely or shift over to the test harness. I found it useful during debugging and others might too.
