So based on the bottom two bits, we can tell what this entry is: 00 - data pointer 01 - indirect entry (pointer to another level of the radix tree) 10 - exceptional entry 11 - locked exceptional entry I was concerned that this patch would clash with the support for multi-order entries in the radix tree, but after some thought, I now believe that it doesn't. The multi-order entries changes permit finding data pointers or exceptional entries in the tree where before only indirect entries could be found, but with the changes to radix_tree_is_indirect_ptr below, everything should work fine. -----Original Message----- From: NeilBrown [mailto:neilb@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2016 9:09 PM To: Ross Zwisler; Wilcox, Matthew R; Andrew Morton; Jan Kara Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx Subject: [PATCH 2/3] radix-tree: make 'indirect' bit available to exception entries. A pointer to a radix_tree_node will always have the 'exception' bit cleared, so if the exception bit is set the value cannot be an indirect pointer. Thus it is safe to make the 'indirect bit' available to store extra information in exception entries. This patch adds a 'PTR_MASK' and a value is only treated as an indirect (pointer) entry the 2 ls-bits are '01'. The change in radix-tree.c ensures the stored value still looks like an indirect pointer, and saves a load as well. We could swap the two bits and so keep all the exectional bits contigious. But I have other plans for that bit....
